Fujairah: Authorities in Fujairah are joining forces to investigate the death of a man whose body was found dumped in a rocky area in Fujairah, a police official told Gulf News.
A hunt has been launched after the unfortunate discovery was made in the mountainous area known as Al Heil.
The police operations room received a call on Wednesday at around 7am reporting the discovery.
Police believe the body belongs to a 29-year-old Emirati man, identified as S.A.S., but police await the forensic report to cull more details about the victim and to learn about his whereabouts before he died.
Fujairah Police were alerted over the incident when a member of the public spotted the body on a rocky road.
