What was supposed to be an ordinary day for workers of the metro\u2019s Parks Department turned into a gruesome discovery on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The team was working in Stewart Park on the corner of Stanhope and Mullins roads in Malvern East when they detected a strange smell coming from the substation in the park.<\/p>
Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose SAPS, said the workers approached the substation and noticed that the padlock on the door was broken.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the workers opened the door and found the decomposed body of a man inside,\u201d he said.<\/p>
Maome added that due to the decomposition of the body, the man could not be identified.<\/p>\n
He was dressed in a pair of jeans, one boot and a drymac jacket.<\/p>\n
Ward 36 Clr Wendy Morgan, who was on the scene, told the GCN that the body was discovered at about 10.30am.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt looks like the man may have been living inside the substation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The Primrose SAPS are investigating and have opened an inquest docket. They are appealing to anyone who may have information about the deceased or who is missing a relative, to contact the station on 011 842 0522.<\/p>\n
