ILOILO – A dead man was found on the shoreline of Barangay Baguingin, Tigbauan, Iloilo.
Tigbauan Municipal Police Station (MPS) chief Police Captain Maryjane Panes said the body was not immediately unidentified when it was found on Saturday afternoon, July 8.
“May pamilya nga nag-coordinate sa station naton kay allegedly wala naka pauli ang iya nga bata so gin-facilitate naton pakato sa Guimbal Hospital. Na-confirm nila nga amo gid man to ang ila nga bata,” said Panes.
Sherwin Torrecampo, 32, a laborer and resident of Barangay Mañacabac, Janiuay, Iloilo, was positively identified by his family on Sunday, June 9.
“May gin updan siya [Torrecampo] nga ila man kapitbahay sa isa ka resort kay may gin-celebrate,” Panes added.
The victim’s companions did not notice that Torrecampo was not in their transport vehicle on the way home, while others thought he went home ahead.
According to the Tigbauan MPS, the family was inclined to have Torrecampo’s body undergo an autopsy.
“Indi lang gid ako maka-confirm kung sano i-perform ang autopsy kag kung final na gid man ang decision sang pamilya. So kung final na, i-schedule na siya sang medical officer or doctor nga ma-perform sang autopsy,” Panes added./PN
