A tragic incident unfolded in an Edinburgh Wetherspoons beer garden, resulting in the death of a woman. The unfortunate event occurred yesterday evening at St John’s Road in the Corstorphine area of the city. Emergency services, including police and paramedics, swiftly responded to the scene following reports of a medical matter around 3.55 pm. Witnesses observed a significant presence of six police vehicles and two ambulances outside the White Lady pub where the incident took place.
The 64-year-old woman was declared deceased at the scene shortly after collapsing in the beer garden. The woman had been a guest at the pub’s hotel since Sunday, but had checked out earlier that morning. Wetherspoons clarified that the woman had not been served at the pub on the day of the incident. While the cause of her collapse remains undisclosed, both the police and Wetherspoons have asserted that there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding her death.
A Police Scotland spokesperson stated, “There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and a report will be forwarded to the Procurator Fiscal.” Wetherspoon’s representative confirmed the sad news, expressing condolences and sympathy to the woman’s family and friends. The pub closed temporarily for the evening, with customers being asked to vacate the premises, while a staff member managed the situation. Following advice from CID, the pub resumed operations later that evening.
