Bloemspruit police are conducting an inquest after the body of a 42-year-old man was found floating in the dam near Meadows Road in Bloemfontein.

On Wednesday (30/10), at approximately 09:45, police received information about a Toyota Corolla that had been parked near the dam since Friday.

Sergeant Mahlomola Kareli stated that upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered a blue Toyota Corolla, which had a Free State registration number plate, with its doors unlocked. They began searching for the occupants of the vehicle around the dam and soon discovered the body of a man in the water.

The victim was last seen driving the vehicle by his family on Friday.
