A police statement, read by spokesperson Sam Tsulanyane, described the circumstances in which his body was found by his wife. 

It read: 'She did not bother to go and check what was wrong [when the dogs were barking] as their house is situated on a busy street and the dogs frequently barked at pedestrians and vehicles passing by.

'After the electricity was restored [after loadshedding], she went inside looking for her husband, but could not find him.

'Upon continuing with her search, the woman saw her husband lying motionless outside in the garden.
