• Police need help finding families of two dead men – one brought to Heideveld hospital, another killed by bus in Atlantis.

• Both men’s bodies are in mortuaries while police try to identify them and locate their families.

Cape Town police need help finding the families of two men who died in separate incidents.

Western Cape SAPS spokesperson Anelisiwe Manyana said the first man was brought in dead to the Heideveld emergency unit on Monday, 17 February 2025.

“The man was unfortunately already deceased by the time they brought him in. The deceased was dressed in a Nike T-shirt, blue denim jeans, and orange running shoes. The body was moved to Salt River Pathology Services for a complete autopsy to determine the cause of death,” said Manyana.

The second man died in a bus accident in July last year, and his body is yet to be positively identified.

“The body was transported to the Observatory mortuary. At the time of the accident, the deceased was wearing a red hoodie and blue jeans with black running shoes. So far, no missing persons matching the deceased’s description have been reported,” said Manyana.

The man was hit by a MyCiTi bus on Dassenberg Drive in Atlantis at 9:30pm on Thursday, 4 July 2024.

Anyone who can help identify these men should call Detective Warrant Officer Rogers at Manenberg SAPS on 021 699 9400 or Detective Sergeant Antonio Langeveldt at Atlantis SAPS on 082 305 3582.
