The body of an unidentified man was discovered under a bridge on the banks of the Tongaat River in the vicinity of Maidstone – KZN.
A passerby contacted Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) at approximately 08:01 requesting assistance after he made the discovery. Reaction Officers and RUSA Medics were dispatched to the location provided. On arrival, RUSA Members walked along the railway line until they reach the river bank. On examination, the deceased was found to have sustained a head injury. His pockets were turned inside out. It could not be established if he had fallen or had been pushed from the bridge above as the guard rails were missing.
The Tongaat SAPS were on scene and are investigating further.
