A short time later MacGregor took ill and was taken to Wishaw General Hospital, where he became aggressive and agitated, before suffering what appeared to be a fit and then became unresponsive. He was resuscitated and eventually put into a coma, and died 10 days on August 26, 2019 later from multiple organ failure.
Sheriff Nicolson made several recommendations around the monitoring of prisoners in a similar situation, pointing out: "The Standard Operating Procedures should be reviewed to consider whether they should include guidance on being alert to any situation arising which impacts on their ability to maintain concentration on their task, such as a delay in the processing of persons in custody.
