Police confirmed that a case of murder is now under investigation.
Davidson was attacked and brutally assaulted by three men on the farm Whoa-Ha, near the Port River Bridge in April, leaving him with burn wounds to his upper body.
Police spokesperson, Captain Ursula Roelofse said he was found after his son went to the farm to check on him.
