Brigadier Khalil Ebrahim Al Mansouri, Director of Dubai Police's Criminal Investigation Department, said there were no criminal suspicions behind the death.

According to reports, the man found dead in his hotel room was a son of prominent conservative Mohsen Rezaei, who ran against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2009.
