A 26-year-old man from another Gulf country was found dead under a tree in the eastern oasis town of Al Ain and tests showed he died after having a drugs overdose.
Police said friend led them to the dead body after he told them he dumped his friend under the three because he was too drunk to handle such a case.
“Tests showed the man died of an overdose of narcotics while his friend was found to be drunk,” Al Ain police chief Brigadier Hamad Al Omaimi said.
He said the dead man’s friend confessed to having had alcohol and that his friend had drugs at another Gulf country just before coming into the UAE.
