MANILA (Updated) -- A 37-year-old member of the President Security Group (PSG) was found dead with a gunshot wound to the chest in his office at the Malacañang Park, Tuesday morning, an official said.
PSG chief Brigadier General Louie Dagoy said the lifeless body of Major Harim Gonzaga was discovered by his wife, Shiela, around 8:50 a.m.
Gonzaga's wife, who is a member of Presidential Escorts, directed the Philippine National Police (PNP) to dispatch a team of Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) at the scene of the incident, said Dagoy.
"She found her husband lying dead and immediately upon knowledge to the information, she immediately directed the PNP, under PSG, to call for SOCO to conduct the immediate investigation on the cause of the incident," the PSG chief told Palace reporters.
