Inquest verdict - Accidental Death

Reported in the The Scotsman 13 March 2009 by Lucy Collins

The jury has recorded a verdict of accidental death at the inquest into a helicopter crash which claimed seven lives.

The jury foreman said: "We, the jury, agree the cause of death was accidental. We agree there were contributing factors and that these were poor weather conditions, leading to a lack of visual clues, pilot disorientation and transfer of control."
