A passerby on his way to work this morning was horrified when he witnessed a group of illegal miners emerging from the open pit mining area carrying a body.
The body was wrapped in plastics and, according to the eyewitness, left in Avon Street at about 6 am this morning.
Papers which contain the contact numbers of the deceased were found on the body.
According to onlookers, it was inhumane of his friends to have left his body so unceremoniously on the street.
Police are at the scene and further details will be released pending their investigation into the gruesome find.
