There was a dead monkey in the driveway last night, no signs of any injuries, but it was just lying in the rain, not moving, really really sure it wasn't breathing. Main thought was poison, but a neighbour on the WhatsApp group did mention a big monkey fight, but again, no signs of injuries

Mom saw it when she got home just before 7, was definitely still there at 9:30. We messaged the Monkey Helpline, but didn't get a response and the SPCA was closed, so we left it to deal with in the morning

And now it's gone? I'm really sure it was dead, but I also can't think of anything that would have taken it. I'm pretty sure we don't have mongeese in this part of Hillcrest? Maybe it was doing a really good job of playing dead? IDK

Has anyone had this happen before?

EDIT: It was within my property and I have beams, there's no way a person could have seen or taken the monkey
