MANILA, Philippines — An elderly woman was found dead in a dumpsite in Barangay Payatas, the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) said.
The body was recovered from a black garbage bag on Wednesday morning.
In a statement on Thursday, the QCPD identified the body as a 65-year-old woman named “Verry,” a Payatas resident.
“According to the witness, ‘Verry’ was known in the neighborhood for living alone, having no known relatives, and was reportedly suffering from mental health issues,” the QCPD said.
