Man dies in detention from heart problem

SHANWEI, Guangdong - The death of a man in detention was due to sudden cardiac death, sources with the Shanwei No 2 People's Hospital said.

The death of 42-year-old Xue Jinbo, who had been involved in a land dispute in Guangdong province, was not due to external force, according to an initial check of the body on Wednesday.

Liu Shuiping, a chief legal medical expert of Sun Yat-sen University Forensic Authentication Center, said bruises found on Xue's knee and wrists were not enough to determine that the suspect had been beaten before his death.
