CEBU CITY – An unidentified elderly woman was found dead and floating some distance off the shores of barangay Alegria, Cordova town early Tuesday morning.

The woman who appeared to be in her mid-60s wore a pink blouse and black pants.

SPO2 Laurencio Wagwag, desk officer of the Cordova police precinct said a fisherman named Jeffrey Inoc found the woman floating on knee-deep water early in the morning.

He pulled the woman to the shoreline and asked help from the barangay tanod who later informed the police. None in Barangay Alegria knew the woman who had no wounds and was believed to have drowned.

Wagwag said an autopsy would be done to determine foul play.  SFM
