A senior citizen was found dead in a sugarcane field in Sitio Sambag, Brgy. Biak na Bato, La Castellana, Negros Occidental, on Sunday, April 13, three days after he went missing.
Alias “Julio”, 70, was found dead by a concerned citizen, the police said.
The victim’s son said his father left their house at about 2 a.m. of April 10 to forage for food for his livestock but did not return home.
The family believes that there was no foul play as the victim had been hospitalized for a mild stroke last year.
The post-mortem examination showed that the victim died from a stroke.*
