DUBAI, U.A.E. - A British tourist has died in police custody in Dubai, the UK Foreign Office confirmed on Thursday, amid newspaper reports that he suffered severe beatings while in detention. Lee Bradley Brown 39(right photo), was reportedly arrested on April 6 after a row at a luxury hotel in the Gulf emirate.The maintenance man from Ilford, east of London, died on Tuesday after six days in custody at the Bur Dubai police station. “We can confirm that Lee Bradley Brown has died whilst in police custody,” a Foreign Office spokeswoman said.
Britain is pressing police in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai to investigate the death of a British tourist who died in police custody this month.
Earlier a British embassy spokesperson in Dubai also confirmed the death, telling AFP: “The embassy is in close contact with Dubai police and has been assured a full investigation will take place” into the circumstances surrounding his death.- According to press reports, the British embassy ‘said it had been contacted by the 39-year-old’s family who claimed Brown was beaten by police officers during his detention’. But the embassy spokesperson said it has not yet been confirmed that the man died from torture.
- The Sun newspaper, which spoke by mobile phone to a prisoner at the Bur Dubai station, alleged that Brown had been stripped, handcuffed and battered by up to six officers then left lying injured for three days.
The Daily Mail, citing sources, also alleged that Brown had been beaten and left unconscious. It was unclear why he had been detained, although media reports said he was taken into custody for swearing. Dubai, a popular destination for British tourists and expatriate workers, has occasionally come under fire from rights groups over harsh detention conditions.

Shakespeare Cockroach - Lee Brown - of Cockroach Britain, got a merciless Cockroach Bashing for attempting to throw a Nepalese Hotel worker from the 6th floor balcony of Burj Al Arab Hotel, where he was staying.
Shakespeare Cockroach, Lee Brown fully deserves his death at the hand of the Dubai Police, because this is exactly what he intended for the Nepalese Worker, whom he tried to kill.
As you sow, so shall you reap.
What Shakespeare Cockroach, Lee Brown sowed in Burj Al Arab Hotel, he fully reaped it in Dubai Prison by meeting his "Cockroach Death".
