Sapper Connor Morrison, 20, from East Kilbride, collapsed during a group run in July 2022 before passing away in hospital two days later.
A Scots soldier who tragically died from heatstroke may have survived if he had received treatment earlier, a report has found.
The damning report states clinical decision-making was potentially hindered as there was mutual understanding of who was present and their respective medical abilities. They also found that the clinical guidance on heatstroke issued to ambulance personnel was insufficient. The DSA report states: "There were sufficient indicators to support an immediate diagnosis of heatstroke but this was not acted upon immediately. The symptoms had become apparent during the latter stages of the run when participants had witnessed Spr Morrison's inability, he was seen weaving from side-to-side.
Spr Morrison was running at a slower pace to others in the group but was able to hold conversation, reports Wales Online. He was encouraged by others during the run and was seen "weaving from side-to-side" before he collapsed, according to witnesses. Had water been immediately available amongst the group, cooling treatment may have been initiated earlier," the report reads.
