A woman has died after choking on food at a recently opened steakhouse in Aberdeen.
Police and paramedics attended the Miller and Carter restaurant at the junction with Union Street and Broad Street last Saturday night at 7.10pm after the woman, in her 40s, began choking.
The woman was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary by ambulance, but medics were unable to save her and she died late on Wednesday, The Scotsman newspaper has reported tonight.
