A police officer believed to be under investigation in relation to the Rotherham child sex abuse scandal has died after being hit by a car.
PC Hassan Ali died in the early hours of Friday morning after being struck while on foot and off duty in Sheffield on 28 January.
Sky News understands the death is not being treated as suspicious.
It is thought the 44-year-old was being probed by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) after allegations against him.
Sky News' Mike McCarthy said: "He was under some kind of surveillance, we understand, by his own force in South Yorkshire."
The Sheffield Star says a complaint was made after the officer allegedly asked a sexual exploitation victim on a date on two occasions.
It claims PC Ali asked her out when she was 17, and again when she was 21.
The paper quotes the victim as saying: "It was inappropriate. He was a police officer who knew that I was being abused. It is totally unprofessional."
South Yorkshire Police would not confirm PC Ali's involvement in the IPCC investigation.
But in statement it said: "[We] received four public complaints relating to alleged misconduct of an officer.
"The force referred the matter to the Independent Police Complaints Commission."
Chief Constable David Crompton said: "All of our thoughts are with Hassan's family and on behalf of the force I would like to offer my sincere condolences at this incredibly difficult time.
"PC Ali was a well-liked officer whose colleagues are devastated by what has happened."
The officer's family were by his side when he died.
PC Ali was a neighbourhood officer based in Rotherham and had been with the force for 18 years.
