Police: Three drown in Pangasinan deep well

Three people drowned in a deep well in a farm in Pangasinan's Natividad town on Tuesday, a police report said Wednesday.

A report from the Natividad police Station said the drowning occurred at about 10:30 a.m. at the Lucky 888 Farm in Barangay San Macario.

The report identified the victims as Noli Boy Rillorta, 30; Arman Mejia, 19; and Chrisanto Pamparo. All were married and residents of Barangay San Miguel.

Dr. Felix Briones, Natividad municipal health officer, said the three died due to insufficient supply of air inside the deep well, the police report said.
