Dead man found in Guihing river
A BODY of a still unidentified man was found floating in a river in Guihing, Hagonoy, Davao del Sur, Saturday afternoon.
The body was described by the police to be of medium build, clad in blue shorts and a white t-shirt, and about 5'2" tall. No means of identification was recovered from the victim's possession.
The body was recovered by one Alvin Gezaspi and one Jojo Atanoso, residents of the place at around 5 p.m.
Alvin and Jojo told police that they were catching fish at the Guihing river when they noticed a body floating on the water just a few meters away from them.
At first they thought the man was taking a bath and did not mind him.
But as they prepared to go home, they noticed that the man was still there, unmoving, and thus they checked only to find him already dead.
Police brought the body to the Angel Funeral Homes in Hagonoy for autopsy. (JGR/NC)
