CEBU, Philippines — A 50-year-old Korean national was rescued after he drowned while bathing in the sea in Sitio Tongo, Barangay Basdiot, Moalboal at 12 past Sunday.
The person who drowned was identified as Youngkil Gee, currently living in the area.
Based on the investigation by the police, the foreigner was last seen at 10 in the morning at the front desk of the resort where he was staying because he was notified that he will extend his stay in the rented room.
Around twelve forty in the afternoon, a fisherman in the area saw the victim floating in the ocean.
He thought he was just snorkeling but he noticed that it was not moving anymore, so he helped another foreigner who was bathing in that area to take him to the beach.
Gee was rushed to Badian District Hospital but was declared dead on arrival.
The dead body has been taken to one of the funeral homes in the town of Ronda, while the police in Moalboal continue to deepen their investigation into the incident and they are also coordinating with the Korean Consul to notify the relatives in their country. (BANAT NEWS)
