INITIAL findings of a probe into the police search of a man who later died will be published next week.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission said the investigation into the death of Habib Ullah was "progressing well".

It said it was aware of some "community concern" over the death of Mr Ullah, from the Colnbrook area of Slough.

He died in hospital following a drugs search of three men who were sitting in the car in a private car park near Lee Court, Sharrow Vale, High Wycombe.

During the search, at 7.15pm last Thursday, Mr Ullah encountered breathing problems and an ambulance was called.

He was taken to Wycombe Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Mike Franklin, IPCC commissioner for Thames Valley said: "We are aware of some community concern surrounding the death of Mr Ullah and I would like to reassure people that the IPCC is completely independent of the police.

"We are using our own investigators to examine the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr Ullah and Thames Valley Police are cooperating fully with our investigators.

"Our investigation is progressing welI and I will be making a further more detailed statement next week concerning our initial findings but we are keen to hear from anyone else who may have seen something at the time police were with Mr Ullah."
