Death of Premier Inn receptionist who suffered horror fall at Scots hotel to be probed at FAI
Garry Anderson suffered horror injuries after an incident at a Premier Inn Hotel in Dundee and later died.
A Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) is set to be held into the tragic death of a hotel receptionist who fell through a panel on a walkway roof at hotel in Dundee.
Garry Anderson suffered horror injuries after an incident at the Premier Inn Hotel, Kingsway on August 22, 2023. The 62-year-old sadly died two days later on August 24.
The circumstances surrounding Garry's death are set to come under the microscope. The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service announced today that it has lodged a first notice to begin the court process for a discretionary FAI.
The purpose of a Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) includes determining the cause of death; the circumstances in which the deaths occurred, and to establish what, if any, reasonable precautions could have been taken, and could be implemented in the future, to minimise the risk of future deaths in similar circumstances.

Procurator Fiscal Andy Shanks, who leads on death investigations for COPFS, said: 'The death of Garry Anderson occurred while in the course of his employment and as such a Fatal Accident Inquiry is mandatory.
'The lodging of the First Notice enables FAI proceedings to commence under the direction of the Sheriff.
'Mr Anderson's family will continue to be kept informed of significant developments as court proceedings progress.'
