According to Superintendent Lesego Kgosiemang, the Tutume Police Station commander, they are planning to involve their special unit to utilise fingerprints for identifying the corpse.

The body has been at the hospital for more than a week. He urged people, including families with missing persons' reports, to come forward and identify the unclaimed body.

Kgosiemang mentioned that the deceased man was found motionless with head wounds in a stream. The man, of a coffee complexion and roughly aged between 50 and 65 years, was found wearing only a black t-shirt.

His height is estimated to be around 1.75 metres. Unverified reports suggest that the man might have had mental health challenges. Additionally, the exact cause of his death remains unknown. Investigations into this matter are ongoing.
