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.
A court filing alleges wrongful death by negligence by Caesars Entertainment, Nevada - 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.
"All we've wanted since Sebastian died is to understand why it happened, and we are getting close.
Ex-world middleweight champ Eubank choked with emotion as he spoke of his "amazing" son and told how he backs litigation brought by Sebastian's widow Salma Abdelati.
Papers were filed on Friday afternoon by lawyers at a court in Nevada, Las Vegas - home to the resort's management company Caesars Entertainment. This paper approached Chris after discovering the court documents and the Celebrity Big Brother star said: "The case is a chance for us to fight on Sebastian's behalf for the truth to come out.
"And if a court finds his death could have been avoided, it's a chance for someone to take responsibility and for us to get justice.
