A public inquiry has been ordered into the death of a young man who collapsed after being arrested by police.

Antony Storrie, 25, was detained by officers at his house in Paisley, Renfrewshire. He is understood to have taken a legal high beforehand.

Police Scotland were criticised for failing to mention at the time that he had been arrested shortly before his death.

The case led to an appeal for information by the Police Investigations Review Commissioner, who passed their investigation report to prosecutors in March 2014.

Now, the Crown Office has decided all the circumstances should be heard at a Fatal Accident Inquiry at Paisley Sheriff Court in May.

The move was welcomed by former Paisley Labour MP Jim Sheridan, who called for a probe at the time.

The 63-year-old former politician said: "It is clear a high level of inquiry has taken place into this young man's tragic death. I welcome – and I’m sure Antony’s family will welcome – this public examination of exactly what went on.

"Lessons need to be learned. And police need to learn how to deal with young people who have consumed these substances."

At the time, Labour justice spokesman Graeme Pearson, a former policeman, said: "I would have expected a bit more clarity about the circumstances of this young man's death from the outset.

"It reflects poorly that it has taken some days before an appeal goes out in these circumstances. The public have a right to know from the outset the circumstances of a young man’s death so that witnesses can be obtained at the earliest opportunity."

Following the announcement of the FAI, Mr Pearson said: "It has taken so very long to reach this decision. That cannot have been helpful to allow the family to achieve some degree of closure in relation to what happened.

"Hopefully, the patience the family have shown will be repaid by a clear outcome from this public inquiry."

Mr Storrie died in July 2013 after being taken to Paisley’s Royal Alexandra Hospital.

The night before, police had been called to his home to investigate reports of a disturbance. Mr Storrie is believed to have consumed a substance known as an N-Bomb which was legal at the time.

The synthetic drug mimics the hallucinogenic effects of LSD but is now banned.

It was only after an inquiry was announced a week later that it emerged Mr Storrie had been arrested by officers.

At the time, Police Scotland said in a statement: "Police would not necessarily mention the fact that he was technically in custody as Mr Storrie is believed to have taken unwell in his home and was taken straight to hospital."

On Monday, a spokesman for the Police Investigation and Review Commissioner said: "The Commissioner submitted a report on the death of Antony Storrie to the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service Scottish fatalities Investigation Unit in March 2014."

Police Scotland declined to comment.
