The death of a Barlinnie prisoner is to be investigated later this year at an inquiry.
According to Glasgow Live, Stephen Masson passed away just two days after he was remanded to the jail, with his cause of death yet to be confirmed by officials.
A Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) will be conducted at Glasgow Sheriff Court to examine the circumstances surrounding the 47-year-old's death, after he was locked up to await trial on December 4, 2018.
HMP Barlinnie is Scotland's largest prison, housing roughly 1,600 criminals.
A preliminary hearing is set to be held at 9am on Thursday November 4.
FAIs are mandatory under Scottish law when a prisoner dies in custody.
