Commotion after body was found in vehicle
A body was discovered in a vehicle in the parking lot of a shopping centre. One person described the deceased's face.
An early morning discovery at a petrol station at a shopping centre in Noordheuwel drew a crowd anxious to see what was hidden behind an ambulance.
At the Shell garage in Noordheuwel, an ER24 ambulance blocked off the scene with tape where a man had been found dead in a vehicle.
According to a homeless street dweller who sleeps at the garage at night, a white Land Rover was parked there last night when he arrived at the garage.
He described to the News the blue face of the man sitting in the vehicle, with foam coming from his mouth.
Minutes later a woman believed to be related to the deceased arrived on the scene. When paramedics told her the news she collapsed and was taken to the ambulance for treatment.
The police and CPF were called to assist.
When asked for comment about the incident the managers of the Noordheuwel Pick n Pay and the petrol station both declined.
The News is awaiting official comment from the paramedics and the police. Further information will be made available once it is received.
