CEBU CITY, Philippines -- Authorities discovered a decomposing body of an unidentified man floating along the riverbank in Barangay Tayud, Consolacion, Cebu, early Saturday morning, October 11.

Police said the body was found at around 6 a.m. by Isidro Noel Presbitero, a Bantay Dagat officer of Barangay Jugan, Consolacion, patrolling near the fish coral fence in the area.

Presbitero reportedly noticed a foul odor and traced it to the body of a man floating face down inside the fish coral. The victim was wearing a black hoodie with a cartoon design on the back and gray underwear.
