Swakopmund resident who took the day off on sick leave on Tuesday was found dead in his Vineta home on Wednesday morning. An autopsy will now determine what caused 50 year old Mario du Plessis’s death in his flat in Vineta’s Omeg Street where he lived alone.
According to the Namibian Police in Erongo’s Crime Investigation Coordinator, Deputy Commissioner Erastus Iikuyu, du Plessis allegedly phoned in on Tuesday morning and informed colleagues he is not feeling well and would stay home for the day.
When du Plessis did not turn up for work on Wednesday morning, colleagues first tried to reach him on his cell phone. When they failed, they went to his home where they found him dead.
