The body of a man who drowned off Al Khan Beach at the weekend has been recovered.
The Pakistani victim was swept out to sea on Saturday while swimming.
Police and the coastguard formed a task force using boats and helicopters and searched for 24 hours to recover the body, according to Capt Rashid bin Sandal, director general of the Ambulance and Rescue Unit at Sharjah Police.
The body has been taken to a police forensic laboratory for a post-mortem.
