Sharjah: Police arrested two Iranian men and a woman in connection with the death of two men, who were found dead in the parking lot of Al Kuwaiti Hospital on Friday evening after overdosing on drugs, police said.
Lieutenant Colonel Yousif Al Naqbi, Director of Sharjah CID, said that the suspects along with the two men used to take heroin in a house in Al Qadisiya area. While the two men were taking drugs with the suspects, they felt extremely tired after overdosing and died half an hour later.
"The two men were found in the back seat of a car in the parking lot of the hospital," police noted.
Police said that the bodies of the two diseased were rotten and stank because they were left inside the car in the parking lot for the past four days.
The car in which police found the bodies was rented from one of the car rental companies.
The dead men were without legal documents and both worked for a contracting company in Sharjah.
Police said that similar incidents used to happen when a drug addict loses consciousness and then gets dropped at hospital by his friend.
"The friends usually leave the drug addict in the hospital's parking lot and then escape. Last year, an Emirati man was found at the parking lots at Al Qasimi Hospital after being dumped by his friends near the hospital gate at the emergency parking lots. The man died due to an overdose..," police said.
A Senior official from Al Kuwaiti Hospital said that two men were found dead and not four as it was reported in some Arab media publications.
