WHAT should have been a happy family get-together turned awry when a 25-year-old mute and deaf man drowned at the Tinakayanan Falls in Barangay Bolo in Labrador town Monday, March 15.

Investigation revealed the Almoites, residents of Barangay Matalava in Lingayen town, were having a family gathering at the Falls and were about to have their lunch when they noticed the victim Manuel Almoite was missing.

During the initial search for him, family members saw the victim’s slippers floating on the water. It was then when they realized he could have drowned.

They found his body underwater. He was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. No foul play was considered. (Ahikam Pasion)
