BODY FOUND IN FIELD: MILNERTON POLICE INVESTIGATING DEATH OF POSSIBLE VAGRANT
Body found in field
RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj
Milnerton police are investigating the death of a man whose body was found lying in an open field recently. The body was allegedly found by a passerby in a field off Bosmansdam Road, Milnerton. Captain Adriana Chandler, police spokesperson, says the man was identified by a family member on the scene. “The cause of death is unknown at this stage,” she says.
The body was found on Thursday last week. One Milnerton resident mentioned on the community Facebook page that the body was found slumped over a trolley with a pair of crutches at his side. It is alleged that the deceased was a known beggar in the area. Russel Meiring, spokesperson for ER24 emergency services, says the man is believed to have been in his 50s. He says paramedics were responding to another emergency call when they were flagged down by members of the community.
“Once on scene, paramedics found the body of a man lying some distance into the field against a wall. “It was evident to paramedics that the man had been dead for some time. “Nothing could be done for him and he was declared dead on the scene,” Meiring says. He says the details surrounding the incident are unclear. TygerBurger approached the Milnerton Community Policing Forum (CPF) chairperson, Lianne Lippert, for more details. Lippert was, however, unable to shed any more light on the matter.
As stated by the CPF at a recent community meeting, vagrancy is a major problem in the area around Bosmansdam and Koeberg roads. Calls have been made to all relevant role players in the Milnerton area, including the police, to assist in solving this ongoing problem. According to police, an inquest docket has been opened and more information will be available once a postmortem has been conducted. VWhat is your opinion on this article?
