The prosecutor’s office statement read:
A second body of a male person was found in the Tamis River, identified as M.B. (25), a citizen of Turkey. An autopsy has been ordered to determine the cause of death.
The scene was examined by the on-duty prosecutor and officers from the Pancevo police. Autopsies have been ordered for both bodies to establish the exact cause of death. The prosecutor’s office said it continues taking measures to determine all the circumstances under which the two men died.
Srpske novine reported on this case the previous day, when the body of the first young man was pulled from the Tamis. According to information available so far, the two men jumped from a bridge in Pancevo on August 24 at around 9 a.m. A fisherman who was sitting by the river that morning saw the two men on the bridge and immediately called the police.
