The remains of an unidentified man were recovered from a sugarcane plantation by police yesterday in Barangay Dos Hermanas in Talisay City, Negros Occidental.
According to authorities, the man was above 40 years old and wearing a black t-shirt, shorts, and slippers.
Talisay City Police Station investigators said, after interviewing several locals living near the area where the body was found, they believe the victim may have been suffering from mental illness.
A preliminary autopsy showed no foul play was involved and the victim may have died from natural causes.
An additional autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.
The remains were temporarily stored at the city funeral parlor./DGB, WDJ
