Detainee died of 'alcohol poisoning' Xie Yu

An intoxicated father-of-one accused of hitting a woman has died whilst in the custody of police.

The death of the man surnamed Xu, of Changzhou, in Jiangsu province, is the second death of a prisoner within a month in which alcohol or drugs was said to have been connected.

Xu was taken away - but not arrested - by local police on Monday after a woman alleged that she had been harassed.
