Dubai: The body of a 21-year-old Ukrainian man was found inside his car at Hatta valley on Tuesday after he was reported missing by his parents two days ago.
Brigadier Khalil Ebrahim Al Mansouri, Director of the general department for criminal investigation at Dubai Police, told Gulf News that the cause of his death is due to natural circumstances and ruled out any criminal intent.
A missing person report was filed and Dubai Police immediately formed an investigative team. Upon interrogating friends of the victim, Dubai Police found out that the dead man was last seen three days ago in Al Majara Valley in Hatta.
According to Brigadier Al Mansouri, the Ukrainian refused to return with his friends because he feared he would be punished by his parents for consuming alcohol.
Upon obtaining a clearance from the court to carry out an autopsy on the body, it was determined that the victim died of natural circumstances. The car might have slipped from a cliff and landed in the valley, which was covered in water from the recent heavy rains, he said.
It took the rescue team more than four hours to find the car deep inside the valley, Brigadier Al Mansouri said.
