Teen found dead after police interrogation

GUANGZHOU: Authorities are investigating the case of a teen found dead after being questioned in a police station in Zhongshan, Guangdong province, earlier this month.

Yan Xiaoqiang, 18, was found dead in a reservoir on July 11, a day after he was taken to the Lanbian police station in Nanlang township of Zhongshan for allegedly being involved in a break-in at a local factory dormitory.

"He drank a lot with his friends before the attempt," a police officer surnamed Huang with the Zhongshan public security bureau told China Daily yesterday.
