A tenth person has died following the helicopter crash at the Clutha bar in Glasgow.
Joe Cusker, 59, from Cambuslang, had been receiving treatment in hospital since the crash on November 29.
He died on Thursday at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Police Scotland said.
Deputy Chief Constable Rose Fitzpatrick said: “It is with great sadness that I can confirm the number of people who died when the helicopter came down on the Clutha Vaults pub has increased to 10.
“Our thoughts are with the families at this difficult time and we will continue to provide support to them, as we have done for all of the bereaved.”
The news comes as air ambulance flights across the UK using the same model of helicopter which crashed into the Clutha have been suspended after a fault was detected on a flight.
Operator Bond has grounded its fleet of 22 EC135 helicopters as a precaution while the issue, discovered on an air ambulance in the north west of England on Wednesday, is examined.
The Association of Air Ambulances (AAA), which represents the majority of the air ambulance network, said 16 of its 36 helicopters in the UK were affected by the grounding and will be subject to safety checks.
