A boy was found lifeless in a swamp in Negros Occidental’s Calatrava town.

Jeremy Baynosa, 17 years old, a resident of the town’s Barangay Minapasuk, was found dead on Monday afternoon, January 2, police said.

The boy has been missing since last week, according to a family member.

They did not immediately look for him, thinking that he was just staying with his relatives.

Police said the family has requested an autopsy./MS, WDJ
