A body discovered by authorities in a cemetery could possibly belong to a homeless man who was seen being sprayed with red paint in a video that went viral on social media. An eight-second clip posted on Facebook this past week appeared to show a man covered in red paint close to a Tesco Express in Normanby, Middlesbrough.

In the short video, a man can be heard saying, "This is how we deal with beggars on the street," before gleefully adding, "He's not even a beggar." As he continues filming the homeless man leaning on the wall of The Shed micropub, he says, "There he is, sprayed to death."
