South Africa's ambassador to France has been found dead outside a high-rise hotel in Paris.

Nkosinathi Emmanuel "Nathi" Mthethwa, 58, had been reported missing by his wife on Monday evening after she got a text message from him that concerned her, the prosecutor's office in the French capital said.


It added that the ambassador's body was discovered at the foot of the Hyatt Regency hotel in the west of the city.

Mr Mthethwa had booked a room on the 22nd floor, the prosecutor's office said, adding that a secured window was forced open.

The ambassador was believed to have killed himself, French media including newspaper Le Parisien reported, without citing a source.

His death was called a "national loss" by South Africa's ministry of international relations, which said the circumstances were under investigation by French authorities.

In his diplomatic role, to which he was appointed in December 2023, the ambassador was "tasked with strengthening the vital partnership and bilateral ties between South Africa and France", said the ministry.
