School children find body of man: Avoca
The body of an elderly man - believed to be in his late 50's - has been found in his home in Avoca, south of Durban.
Marshall Security says they were alerted to the scene by a local neighbourhood watch group.
Kyle van Reenen - who's with the security group - says a group of school children visited the spaza shop on the property last week and discovered the man.
"The kids said they were too scared to notify the authorities , but eventually came forward this morning with the information. It's believed the man has been deceased for plus minus two weeks - of natural causes."
The case has been handed-over to SAPS for further investigation.
