He then moves on to interview a third man who is lying face down nearby.

The oblivious journalist shoves his microphone in the man’s face and only realises he’s dead when he fails to respond.

“Amazingly I was going to interview a guy who is already dead," the reporter says to the camera in shock, while pointing at the man's body.

The footage was uploaded on May 28 and has been viewed more than 550, 000 times.
