He went missing a week ago.

“He allegedly died of natural causes. An inquest has been opened,” said North West police spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Amanda Funani.

John Gumede, 75, who was residing at a local old age home in Jericho village close to Letlhabile, was last seen on March 10 at about 4 pm, when he left the old age home without informing anyone and never returned.

A search was conducted around the neighbourhood and Jericho precinct without any success.
