Eubank family's court battle on Sebastian death

SHATTERED boxing star Chris Eubank today tells of his family’s “fight for justice” as they seek the truth around the death of his son.

- PATRICK HILL

A court filing alleges wrongful death by negligence by Caesars Entertainment, Nevada.

That is the management company of the Caesars Palace resort in Dubai, where Sebastian Eubank drowned two years ago in shallow water covered by CCTV, aged just 29.

He suffered a cardiac arrest and “slumped” fatally into the water.

The civil court complaint – which experts say could lead to a payout in the tens of millions – claim lifeguards found his ID and belongings on the beach, which is covered by cameras.

But it is alleged staff went home without searching for him and he was only found the following morning.

Lawyers claim he may have survived if given swift attention.

The claim alleges: “The lifeguards were not paying attention and/or were fatigued and/or had been insufficiently trained to protect guests.”

Tearful Eubank, 56, told us yesterday: “This is our chance for truth and justice. We will fight until we have that for Sebastian’s memory.”
