Dubai Police have confirmed that the investigation into the death of British teen boy Harry Harling, who plunged from the 11th floor of a building in Motor City, has been completed, ruling that it was a suicide.

However, parents of the 15-year-old, Nicolus and Beverley Harling, are still looking for answers into his death.

They have been circulating letters to local media houses and the public, seeking information into Harry’s last few hours on March 23.

In their letter, the parents have stressed that they aren’t questioning the work of the Dubai Police, but merely seeking an account of what happened after Harry left a party at midnight of March 23 claiming he was ‘going home’.

His body was discovered the next morning at 9.30am. They want to know if anyone saw Harry between March 23 midnight and 9.30am on March 24.

A week into the death, police officials had reported that the investigation was completed but didn’t publish the findings as requested by the parents.

Beverly and Nicolus moved to Dubai nine years ago from Surrey and have a 19-year-old daughter Rebecca. The funeral of the boy was held yesterday in a private ceremony in Surrey, England.
