Chris Eubank has taken legal action against a Dubai hotel over the death of his son, who suffered a cardiac arrest and subsequently drowned in shallow water, remaining undiscovered until the following morning.

According to the British boxing legend, his family is determined to seek justice as they sue the management company of the Caesars Palace resort in Dubai for wrongful death due to negligence.

Two years ago, Sebastian Eubank tragically drowned in shallow water, with CCTV footage covering the area. He was only 29 years old. Lawyers argue that prompt attention could have potentially saved his life.

Legal documents claim that the hotel staff found Sebastian’s identification and belongings on the beach but failed to conduct a search before leaving the premises.

Eubank, aged 56, told The Mirror: ‘This is our opportunity to pursue truth and justice. We will persevere until we achieve that for Sebastian’s memory.

‘Since Sebastian’s passing, all we have desired is to comprehend why it occurred, and we are making progress.’

Papers filed on Friday allege: ‘The lifeguards were negligent and/or insufficiently trained to protect guests,’ as reported by The Mirror.

In a tribute to her husband, Salma Abdelati described how Sebastian ‘passed away after enjoying one of his favorite meals with a close friend’ and revealed ‘evidence of a previously unknown heart condition’.

Sebastian, the third-oldest of Eubank’s five children, was just one week away from his 30th birthday. He followed in his father’s footsteps as a boxer and made his MMA debut in 2020.

The father-of-one was discovered deceased on a beach in the UAE, where he resided with his wife Salma and son Raheem.

He was known as the Alka Lion and had participated in two professional fights, winning both.

Chris Eubank stated to The Mirror: ‘The case gives us the opportunity to advocate on Sebastian’s behalf for the truth to surface.

‘If the court determines that his death could have been prevented, it provides an opportunity for someone to take responsibility and for us to attain justice.

‘The case occupies my thoughts constantly. While we cannot bring Sebastian back, we can do this for him. I am confident that Caesars will do the right thing.’

According to court documents, Sebastian arrived on July 7, 2021, and visited a private beach area around 6:30 pm. Thirty minutes later, he was seen standing in water less than waist deep for a few minutes before collapsing into the water, where he remained motionless.

Autopsy results revealed that Sebastian suffered a cardiac event linked to an unknown pre-existing condition, followed by drowning.

Sebastian is survived by his brothers Nathaniel, Joseph, and Chris Jnr – also a boxer – sister Emily, and his mother Karron Meadows.

The legal documents state that the beach was under CCTV surveillance, and the conditions were favorable for the staff to monitor the area.

It is alleged that it was not until around 6 am the following morning that ‘a lifeguard noticed Sebastian’s body floating within the enclosed beach area’.

The documents conclude with: ‘Had appropriate and reasonable care been exercised, Sebastian would not have drowned and died at Caesars Dubai.

‘As a direct and proximate result of Caesars’ negligence, Salma has lost and is deprived of the love, companionship, society, affection, emotional support and care, intimate relations and ability to bear children, and solace of her husband.’
