Authorities recovered the decomposing body of a man reported missing in Iguig, Cagayan since October 25, 2024 during Typhoon #KristinePH.
The man reportedly jumped into the Cagayan River during the typhoon to retrieve a drifting log but had not been seen since.
A resident in the area found his body floating near the boundary of Barangays Abolo and Unag in Amulung on November 13, 2024.
The Task Force Lingkod Cagayan-Quick Response Team contacted the man’s family quickly, who confirmed his identity by his clothing.
The Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) of Amulung has halted search and rescue operations due to the rising water level of the Cagayan River.
