Three men received the shock of their lives when they were exploring the river bank in Ruimsig this evening.
The men explained that shortly before 18:00 they were looking for a place in the river to fill their buckets with water near Van Staden and Sterretjie Streets when they made the gruesome discovery.
They found an unidentified man hanging from a nearby tree. The men continued to explain that they were so shocked that they dropped everything and ran towards a nearby residential complex where they found members of Viper Security.
The security guards alerted paramedics and made their way to the site. When paramedics arrived on the scene it was noticed that the man was probably already dead for a few days. The police was called to the scene to investigate the situation.
It is not clear if the man committed suicide. The police will conduct an investigation.
