An inquiry will be held into the death of a Perth man who died during a police raid on his home.
Stuart Sandeman, 37, collapsed as officers from Tayside Police executed a warrant at his flat on Struan Road on May 6 2011.
Full details of the incident will be unveiled during a fatal accident inquiry at Perth Sheriff Court on March 16 next year, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for November 25.
The circumstances surrounding Mr Sandeman’s death have already been the subject of an independent investigation by officers from the Central Police division, though there was no suggestion at the time that the conduct of officers had contributed to his “unexplained” death.
At the time of the raid neighbours reported hearing “loud shouts and screams” coming from the property.
Mr Sandeman was well known in the local drugs scene and, in 2003, the courts seized almost £50,000 of profits he had amassed from dealing illicit substances.
Two years earlier, he had been jailed for selling cocaine at T in the Park.
The authorities also tried to seize six cars belonging to Mr Sandeman, as well as his house on Viewlands Road.
Reports also revealed that he had five bank accounts, using them to pay for Caribbean holidays and luxury items, including a gold Rolex watch.
After he was sentenced to serve 27 months in prison in 2001, the court froze £121,000 of assets.
Mr Sandeman repeatedly insisted he only dealt in cars and jewellery and that he did not record his income in a bid to avoid paying tax and losing out on state benefits.
He also claimed that his income was higher than disclosed and his outlays far lower than the prosecutors stated.
