A Scots woman died while in police custody after being arrested wearing just vomit-stained pyjamas. Caroline McLeod, 42, was rushed to hospital where it was discovered that she was suffering from sepsis and had pneumonia in both her lungs, just mere hours after she appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
Caroline was transferred to three different police custody suites where the severity of her condition went unnoticed, Glasgow Live reports.It was not until she was remanded in custody by a judge and was being returned to the female cell area that a member of the security staff raised concerns about her health.
