TANGALAN, Aklan – A 73-year-old man was found dead in a creek adjacent to his house in Barangay Vivo here.
Pablito Lopez was last seen alive by his wife about to bathe in the creek, police said.
From what investigators gathered, the Lopez couple was preparing to go to the town’s health center. The wife, however, momentarily left her husband to check on somebody knocking on their door.
When the wife returned to the creek, she found Lopez floating and already unconscious. She cried for help but neighbors who responded failed to revive her husband.
The Lopez family was convinced this was a case of drowning and not a foul play, according to the Tangalan police./PN
