Thornhill police are seeking community assistance in identifying an unknown male whose body washed ashore today, November 20, between the Gamtoos and the Van Staden’s river mouth.
According to police spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu, the decomposed body was allegedly discovered by an angler fishing at the river.
