Police attended and had the scene cleared within half an hour.

No charges have been laid yet and investigations into the incident are continuing.

Residents were not impressed with the mourners actions – with many stating they could have injured or killed someone else.

“The last thing the community needs is another fatal accident,” one resident wrote on a community Facebook page.

Another wrote: “they can mourn in peace, of course, but doing skids and other dangerous stunts isn’t really “in peace”. It’s dangerous and the poor fella passed away in that exact spot.”

“Endangering other innocent people’s lives is not an acceptable way to mourn,” wrote another.
