Palo residents are shocked by the recent discovery of a lifeless body of an old woman floating along the Sitio Kantukling, Barangay Tacuranga, Palo in the morning of May 22.
Authorities said that a certain “Berlito” reported discovering the body of a senior citizen, floating under a temporary makeshift bridge.
The victim was later identified as a certain “Lola Karing”, a senior citizen who was last seen in the barangay hall of the said village inquiring about her senior ID last May 19.
Police said that the body contains no physical injuries suggesting she had been assaulted.
Meanwhile, locals said that the old woman frequently passes through the said bridge when visiting her daughter in the nearby Brgy. Naga- Naga.
Residents are speculating that the old woman possibly slipped or lost her balance and presumably drowned in the river.
Police investigation is still ongoing.
