WHILE working on stricken coal carrier MV Smart on Friday afternoon, members of the shipwreck salvaging crew detected the body of a man floating past.
The sighting was reported to the Richards Bay Operational Response Service (ORS) and the deceased man, believed to be an African male in his mid-twenties, was retrieved after being brought around the Small Craft Harbour.
A post-mortem will be performed on the victim at the Richards Bay mortuary this week to establish his identity and cause of death.
He is presumed to have drowned while bathing at Alkantstrand or one of the northern beaches over the festive season.
