KWAZULU-NATAL. – Authorities were called out on Monday after a body was believed to have been dumped along a gravel road in Mount Vernon.

Reaction Unit South Africa (Rusa) says reaction officers and paramedics were sent to the scene to investigate. Upon arrival, they found a person wrapped tightly in a cloth lying on a embankment. While emergency personnel were investigating, the 26-year-old woman woke up and explained that she had been sleeping. She refused to provide further information, covered herself with the cloth again and went back to sleep.
