The body was discovered at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness
A probe is being carried out after the discovery of a body, believed to be in a toilet used by visitors, at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.
A NHS Highland spokeswoman said: “A death within a public area of the hospital was reported to the Scottish Fatalities Investigation Unit (procurator fiscal) in accordance with standard practice.”
A Crown Office spokesperson said: “The procurator fiscal has received a report in connection with the death of a 41-year-old in Inverness.”
The incident is believed to have happened last week. Local councillor Ian Brown, who works at the hospital, said: “Somebody mentioned that a member of the public was found in the public toilet at A&E.
“The toilet door was locked from the inside. I heard that they got one of our guys from estates to open it.”
The Scottish Fatalities Investigation Unit considers deaths that are reported to the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.
