A MAN who fell out of a flat window has died days after the incident triggered the arrest of Humza Yousaf’s brother-in-law.
Police were called to the scene in the Morgan Street area of Dundee last Wednesday and the 36-year-old was taken to hospital for treatment to serious injuries.
He died at Ninewells Hospital a week later and police say they are treating his death as unexplained.
Ramsay El-Nakla, 36, is the brother-in-law of the First Minister and was arrested in connection with the incident, alongside another man and a woman. All three have since been released as police continue their investigation.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 8.20am on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, we received a report a man had fallen from a block of flats in the Morgan Street area of Dundee.

"A 36-year-old man was taken to Ninewells Hospital for treatment to serious injuries, where he died on Wednesday, January 17.
“The death is being treated as unexplained, and officers are supporting his family as an investigation continues to establish the full circumstances.
"Two men, aged 50 and 36, and a 41-year-old woman were arrested on Monday, January 15, in connection with the incident and later released pending further enquiries.”
El-Nakla appeared on petition at the court on Monday charged with drug offences including supplying heroin, along with Stephen Stewart, 50, and Victoria McGowan, 41.
All three made no plea and will appear in court again at a later date.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
