Police Investigate Dubai Death

Police are investigating an incident at a United Arab Emirates festival that killed one fan and injured three others.

A 37-year-old man died when a steel structure collapsed at the entrance to Sangam Festival at the Dreamland Aqua Park in Umm Al Quwain near Dubai Jan. 29.

Eyewitnesses told Gulf News that steel bars fell directly on the victim, who later died of head injuries and multiple fractures, and pinned the injured fans to the ground.

The paper said the man’s body will be flown back to India, where he has a wife and family.

The Emirates media is also reporting that a labourer who worked on the site construction has been arrested.

Deamland Aqua Park says the health and safety of the audience was the responsibility of festival promoter Alpha Group, which has so far declined to comment.
