Patient dies after falling from window of Fife hospital

A PATIENT has died after apparently falling from a hospital window in Dunfermline.

The 61-year-old fell 30ft from a window at Queen Margaret Hospital in the Fife town at around 1am this morning, police said.

The woman was treated in the hospital’s accident and emergency department but died at 3.30am.

She was a patient in a general medical ward.

A Fife police spokesman said there appeared to be no suspicious circumstances and a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.

John Wilson of NHS Fife said: “An incident took place at Queen Margaret Hospital in the early hours of this morning. It is subject to a police inquiry and therefore it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.”
