BRITISH tourist who died after a savage beating by Dubai cops had serious head injuries, it emerged yesterday.
Officials had insisted that Lee Brown, 39, choked on his vomit.

But a Dubai police source confirmed Lee's body had a large wound that corresponds with witness reports of his head being smashed on the floor.

Lee, of Ilford, Essex, died on Tuesday after being arrested following a row with a chambermaid.

Horrified prisoners at the notorious Bur Dubai detention centre described seeing cops beat him for two days, then throw him into solitary confinement.

They say he lay there unconscious for three days while guards ignored pleas to get medical help.

One lag told how blood-soaked Lee begged him for help, crying: "I'm going to die", before collapsing unconscious.

Last night his family were consulting lawyers after officials refused to release his body.

Sister-in-law Su said: "We are determined to get answers and justice for Lee."

Foreign Office officials are trying to get four Brits in the detention centre moved amid fears they will face reprisals.
