According to verified information provided by Newcastle SAPS Station Commander, Brigadier Vassie Naidoo, a student residing in the house was quietly studying in his room when he was suddenly startled by a loud, unfamiliar bang coming from the adjacent room.

Although the sound caused a moment of unease, the student did not initially investigate and only mentioned it to the home’s caretaker the next morning, 6 September.

What followed was a discovery that would send shockwaves through the home. Using a spare key, the caretaker opened the door to the neighbouring room, only to be met with a chilling sight. The 21-year-old occupant lay behind the door, motionless, wearing nothing but a white t-shirt. Shaken by the grim discovery, the caretaker immediately covered the young man’s body with a blanket and alerted the Newcastle SAPS.

While initial investigations revealed no visible injuries on the deceased’s body, a small amount of vomit was reportedly found on his t-shirt. The body was transported to the mortuary, but questions about what truly transpired in that room remain unanswered.

Brigadier Naidoo confirmed that, at this stage, the exact cause of death remains unknown.

However, police have opened an inquest, determined to get to the bottom of this tragic mystery. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation.
