FROZEN TO DEATH
RICKSHA PULLER WAITING FOR CLIENT. A native ricksha puller was found slumped between the shafts of his vehicle in Maritzburg’s main street early one morning. He had died from exposure while waiting ■for a client, whom he usually took to work at 5.30 a.m. The police state that the boy was dressed only in thin cotton shorts and a shirt, totally inadequate protection against the biting winter cold of two degrees below zero. The man must have slowly frozen to death.
