BACOLOD City – A village watchman was found dead in their house in Barangay Zone 2, Talisay City, Negros Occidental on New Year’s Day.
The 55-year-old Gabriel Balore shot himself using an improvised 12-gauge shotgun, according to the police.
Balore’s daughter Geraldine told officers from the Talisay City police station that her father was diagnosed with cancer and had been complaining about abdominal pain in the past days.
