UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, has welcomed an investigation by China into the death of British businessman, Neil Heywood, who was found dead in the country in November.
The 41-year-old was found dead on November 15 in Chongqing in central China.
Speaking in Indonesia,Mr Cameron said it was very important to get to the truth in this "disturbing" and "tragic" case.
The Prime Minister said: "We did ask the Chinese to hold an investigation and we are pleased that they are now doing that."
At the time, Chinese officials said the British expat died of "excessive alcohol consumption". But friends questioned this, saying the businessman was not a heavy drinker.
