Mr Anderson died following a heart attack in his office at Calachem Ltd, Grangemouth on 1 May 2020.
In his determination, Sheriff Keith O’Mahony found that there were defects in the Scottish Ambulance Service’s system of working which contributed to Mr Anderson’s death.
He also found there was a reasonable precaution that could have been taken and had this been taken it might realistically have resulted in the death being avoided
The Procurator Fiscal, who acts in the public interest, led expert evidence on the facts and circumstances of Mr Anderson’s death at the FAI in which other interested parties were represented.
Following the publication of the determination, Procurator Fiscal Andy Shanks, who leads on fatalities investigations for COPFS said:
“The death of Graham Anderson occurred in circumstances giving rise to significant public concern and as such a discretionary Fatal Accident Inquiry was instructed.
“The sheriff’s determination is detailed and notes reasonable precautions that could have been taken to avoid Mr Anderson’s death.
“The FAI followed a thorough and comprehensive investigation by the Procurator Fiscal who ensured that the full facts and circumstances of Mr Anderson’s death were presented in evidence.”
