Borbon town farmer found dead after falling from hill

A 65-year-old farmer died after he allegedly lost his balance and fell off  a hill in barangay Tagnucan, Borbon town, northern Cebu, last Saturday.

The already-stiff body of Paulo Iway, whose house stands on a hilly portion in  the area, was discovered by a relative who passed by around 11:30 a.m. last Sunday.

Police investigation revealed that Iway, who was on his way home from a drinking spree last Saturday night, was walking uphill when he lost balance and fell hitting his face on a rock.

Police said it was possible the victim, who lies in state in his home, managed to crawl and ask for help but none came as it was already dark.

Police said the victim’s relatives did not suspect foul play in the incident. REPORTER RHEA RUTH V. ROSELL
