A Western newspaper reported on Tuesday evening that the South African ambassador to France was found dead just 24 hours after being reported missing. The newspaper confirmed that Mthithwa was reported missing last night before his body was discovered outside the famous Hyatt Hotel in Porte Maillot.
The newspaper noted that the 58-year-old diplomat jumped from the 22nd floor of the four-star hotel. The office mentioned that he had booked a room on the 22nd floor, where the window was forcibly opened.
The diplomat’s phone was last used around 3 p.m. on Monday near the Boulogne Park in Paris, according to initial evidence. He was last seen in France last Friday before missing several diplomatic meetings over the weekend.
