Dead body found in vehicle at shopping centre
Investigations are under way after a dead body was discovered in a vehicle in the parking lot of a shopping centre in Krugersdorp, on the West Rand.
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, Krugersdorp News reported.
At the Shell garage in Noordheuwel, an ER24 ambulance blocked off the scene with tape. According to a homeless person who sleeps at the garage at night, a white Land Rover was parked there last night when he arrived at the garage.
He described 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.
In February, a man was found dead in his car on Oak Street West, in Farrarmere, Benoni. ER24 Johannesburg East spokesperson Glen Orritt said the 24-year-old man was found behind the wheel of the car in an unresponsive state.
The unidentified man is reported to have left home at 4.30am on the day. He was declared dead on the scene, said Orritt. It is believed the man died of natural causes.
