The Scottish Fatalities Investigations Unit (SFIU) has opened an investigation after a three-year-old boy died inside the so-called ‘super hospital’ in August 2017.
His death came just three weeks before 10-year-old Milly Main died after it's believed she contracted a dirty water infection.
Her mum said that her little girl caught the lethal bug when she was in remission for cancer and was preparing her return to the family home.
A spokesperson for the Crown Office told STV : “The Procurator Fiscal has received a report in connection with the death of a three-year-old boy at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital on August 9, 2017.

“Who is signing off these insulting statements being issued by the health board and are they being cleared by the Health Secretary?
“The Scottish Government must now step in and put the health board into special measures, so that ministers take control, staff can speak out in confidence they will not lose their jobs, and – most importantly - parents can learn the truth.
