A youth conference organiser who witnessed Alex Salmond collapse at a leadership event in North Macedonia said 'time stopped'. Mark Donfried described how Salmond fell into the arms of one of the other speakers.
Former First Minister Alex Salmond 'died while opening a bottle of ketchup', an eyewitness has claimed.
'He came together with Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh, also from the Alba Party in Scotland, and they were eating,' he told Times Radio. Mr Donfried said 'time stopped' when the incident happened and paramedics attempted to resuscitate for 30 minutes before Mr Salmond was pronounced dead.Tributes have poured in since his death at the weekend with First Minister John Swinney saying he 'inspired a generation' to believe in independence.
Mr Davis said he is campaigning for MSPs to be given parliamentary privilege so they can more effectively scrutinise and investigate the actions of the Scottish Government, including in relation to outstanding questions about the probe into Mr Salmond's conduct.Alex Salmond's legal battle against the Scottish Government overshadowed the final years of his life, say friends
Mr Salmond lodged a petition at the Court of Session last November for malfeasance - the wrongful exercise of lawful authority - by Scottish Government civil servants during the investigation into harassment complaints. Eye-witnesses said medical teams desperately tried to resuscitate Mr Salmond, but were unable to save him.
'Eternal memory' is a chant sung in the Russian orthodox church for the solemn commemoration of the deceased.
