Police Search and Rescue teams in Durban recovered the bodies of two unidentified men from separate locations on Sunday. The first body was found floating in the Umgeni River near Clare Estate. The second incident occurred at Durban North Beach.
Authorities were alerted to the first discovery after reports of a body in the river. Search and Rescue Unit members responded and retrieved the body. The second body was found at Durban North Beach, though details about how it was discovered remain unclear.
Both incidents are under investigation. Police have not yet identified the men or determined the cause of death. An inquest is expected to be opened to examine the circumstances surrounding the deaths. The locations involved are known for recreational use, but no prior incidents have been reported in the area.
The recovery of the bodies has raised questions about safety in local waterways. Local officials have not commented on the findings, and no further details have been released. The cases remain under police review.
