On Wednesday morning, IPSS Search & Rescue, in collaboration with SAPS Search & Rescue and Durban Metro Police Search & Rescue, responded to reports of a body spotted offshore near Umdloti.
Using an IPSS Search & Rescue jetski, rescuers successfully recovered the body of a man from the water.
While the recovery was underway, IPSS Search & Rescue Tongaat responded to a second report of a body that had washed up on Westbrook beach. The body, also identified as that of a man, was retrieved from the shore.
Both bodies have been handed over to local SAPS for further investigation.
Our condolences are extended to the friends and family of the deceased during this tragic time.
