Decomposing body of a man discovered in KZN

A decomposed body of a man was discovered on Monday morning in the Redcliffe, KwaZulu-Natal.

Local security company Reaction Unit South Africa (Rusa) was called to the scene after the discovery of the decomposing body of a man alleged to be around 40 years was made.

The residents of Summit Drive, area 2 in Redcliffe called Rusa after they noticed a bad smell coming from the man’s house.

The neighbours reportedly last saw the man about two weeks ago.

Upon arrival, Rusa officers and paramedics were compelled to forcefully break the door to gain entry. They discovered the body of the man lying on his bed at an advanced stage of decomposition.

Neighbours told the reaction officers the reason they did not report him missing was because they believed he had left in his vehicle.

When the officers went to check his garage, the deceased blue Toyota Corolla was not there and the details around its whereabout are unknown.

The cause of death has not yet being established.
