Prosecutors in Beijing said on Tuesday, November 29 that they have completed the investigation into five police officers in connection to the death of a man in custody.

The municipal prosecutor's office said the case has been handed over to the related department for a review ahead of prosecution.

The five officers are facing charges of dereliction of duty. Four of them have been released on bail pending the trial.

The incident took place in May.

29-year-old Lei Yang was caught on May 7 during an anti-prostitution raid at a massage parlor in Beijing's Changping District.

Police said he had violently resisted officers, at which point he felt sick, and later died despite emergency treatment in hospital.

An autopsy showed that the man died of asphyxia due to "inhalation of content from stomach into the respiratory system," meaning he had been suffocated by his vomit.
