{{A Dubai court has fined a grieving British widower who allegedly arrived drunk to sign police paperwork to release the body of his wife.}} <\/p>\n
She had died in a balcony fall on their honeymoon.<\/p>\n
Police claim Sean Nicholas Emmett, a former motorcycle racer, arrived intoxicated at a police station in late February to claim the body of his 27-year-old wife, Abbie.<\/p>\n
She died the previous week in an apparently accidental fall from a Dubai high-rise hotel during their honeymoon. Emmett left Dubai last month.<\/p>\n
The fine of nearly $500 for drinking alcohol without a license was imposed on Tuesday in absentia.<\/p>\n
Alcohol is widely available in Dubai resorts and hotels, but a local permit is required for drinking in homes and other places \u2014 although the rule is often ignored.<\/p>\n
