A 26-year-old woman believed to be a dumped corpse stunned emergency responders after waking up and informing them that she had been sleeping on an embankment alongside an unpaved road in Mount Vernon on Monday.
Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) said two separate callers contacted the organisation requesting assistance after they believed a human body had been dumped in the area.
Reaction Officers and RUSA paramedics were dispatched to investigate the reports.
On arrival, responders located an individual “tightly wrapped in a white cloth” on an embankment next to the road, prompting fears that a body had been abandoned at the scene.
