A 74-year-old man was discovered dead in a rice field in Brgy. Malusgod, Pototan, Iloilo, three days after he was reported missing.

The victim, a resident of the barangay, had been unaccounted for before being found lifeless.

In an interview with Bombo Radyo, PCapt. Jersey Besas, head of the Pototan Municipal Police Station, stated that the victim was found by a man who was working in the field.

According to Besas, it is likely that the elderly man fell into a water-filled area of the field after slipping off an improvised bridge.
