During Rosh Hashanah, the body of a Jew, a British citizen, about 45 years old, was found in the Bauman Forest - near the memorial of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov.
Hasidim who went into seclusion in the forest on the first day of the holiday discovered the man's lifeless body.
At the family's request, Ukrainian police opened an investigation into the cause of death at the scene.
ZAKA teams in Uman are accompanying the police investigation and working with all relevant parties to help complete the procedures as quickly as possible - and bring the deceased to burial as soon as possible.
Haim Weingarten, ZAKA's Deputy Director of Operations: "At the request of the deceased's family, ZAKA Europe Commander Nachman Dickstein is working with the local authorities to exhaust all possible investigative procedures, while maintaining the dignity of the deceased.".
""ZAKA teams are working to expedite the completion of the required tests and procedures as much as possible. We will continue to accompany the family and work to release the deceased for burial as quickly as possible.".
