A 52-year-old man was found dead at a river in Barangay Calinan Proper, Davao City.

The man was identified as Edgardo Antoc. His body was found floating in the river morning on Friday, March 7, 2025.

“Ang una gyud nako nadunggan nga nakakita sa patay babae kay nag-istorya sila dira sa karenderya, nakadungog nako. Nibangon ko, nanawag dayon ko sa barangay kay ako may watcher diri sa sapa,” a resident said.

The night he allegedly fell into the river, Edgardo reportedly went to his brother’s house and knocked on the door but he was not able to wake his brother up.

“Wala man daw ko kamata kay kung nakamata ko dili to madisgrasya kay ako man gyud siyang alalayan,” Edgardo’s brother, Eduardo, said.

Eduardo believes that his brother may have been under the influence of alcohol and fell into the river while going home after he failed to get inside his house.

“Akong igsuon, taga adlaw gyud na hubog tungod sa stress sa iyang pamilya ba,” Eduardo added.

Authorities are investigating the incident.
