The dead body of a man was found floating at the river in Barangay Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City.

The man is yet to be identified, as of this writing, but authorities said he may be a member of the Batang Mindanao-29 (BM-29) gang.

“I-kumpirma pa ug i-establisar pa gyud ang saktong identity ug siya ba ang giingong myembro niining dreaded group nga Batang Mindanao 29,” Cagayan de Oro City Police Office (COCPO) Spokesperson, Lt. Col. Evan Viñas, said.

Authorities are still investigating the incident and called on the family to come forward. The family may request an autopsy to determine the cause of death of the victim, the police said. 

“Sayron pa sa atong investigator on case kung asa kini gikan. Nagatambag pud ang investigator on case nga kung kinsa katung banay nga mag-request lang nga magpahigayon og autopsy para madeterminar kung unsay hinungdan,” Viñas added.
