Body of unidentified man found in cemetery
Do you know this man?
With the word, “Praises” tattooed on his left hand along with the face of a lion, and “Smile now” inked on the other, the body of a man of African descent was found in a clump of bushes at Le Repentir Cemetery.
The discovery was made by cemetery workers a little before 13:00hrs yesterday. The man was clad in a black pair of pants, green jersey and black sneakers. He was also wearing a light green wrist watch.
He was discovered in a sitting position and there was a bottle of water and a bunch of keys next to the body. The inside of his pockets were out, leading investigators to believe that “thieves don’t even spare the dead.”
Police said that from all indications, the man may have committed suicide by ingesting a poisonous substance since a white substance was seen on his lip, jersey and on his pants.
“The body fresh, it looks like he drink he thing and come sit here,” a police rank related to this newspaper yesterday.
The body is currently at Lyken Funeral Home. Investigations are ongoing.
