Pangasinan farmer drowns while searching for dentures in lake
DAGUPAN CITY — A farmer dove into a lake searching for his dentures and drowned on Monday (July 2) at Bayambang town in Pangasinan province.
Edison Race, 44, sank into the 1.5-meter-deep lake in Barangay (village) Langiran about 6 p.m., according to his companion Raul Corales.
Race and Corales, who were both drunk, were gathering fish caught by traps they had deployed in the area hours earlier.
