URDANETA CITY– A 71-year-old German national committed suicide by hanging himself inside the family residence in Greenville Subdivision, Barangay San Vicente here on May 3 at about 11:20 a.m.

Found dead was Manfred Heyne who was found by his wife Lolita Suyat-Heyne hanging at the concrete fence at the southeast side of their house with a nylon cord looped around his neck attached to an iron grill of the concrete fence.
