The death of a vulnerable Scots woman who chocked and later died could have been prevented if suitable training was provided to staff working for a housing association.

Ark Housing Association Ltd has now been fined £100,000 for health and safety failings which led to the death of a woman in its care.

Shirley Breeze, 64, choked after her support worker gave her a marshmallow that was not suitable for her dietary needs. She then suffered two cardiac arrests and a seizure which led to her being placed in an induced coma.
