Guangzhou expats rally outside police station over man's death

POLICE in Guangzhou, capital of southern Guangdong Province, dispersed a crowd of foreigners who gathered outside a local police station and caused traffic jams in protest of the sudden death of an expatriate at the station.

According to local media, the male expat took the service of an electric bike cabbie surnamed Sun on Monday afternoon. When they reached the destination in Yuexiu District, the two fought on the street in a fare dispute.

Yuexiu police brought them to the Kuangquan police station nearby. The unnamed expat fell into a coma suddenly and died at the police station despite rescue treatment. There was no trauma on the corpse.

An unspecified number of local foreign residents gathered outside the station to demand an explanation yesterday afternoon, causing severe congestion on Guangyuan Road. Police managed to send them away after two hours of persuasion.

Police said the cause of the man's sudden death is still under investigation.
