BACOLOD City – A man accidentally fell into the water from a boat off the coast of Barangay Aguisan, Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental on Saturday, July 29.

The 26-year-old Joven Buenaflor was a resident of Purok 6 of the aforementioned barangay. He drowned.

Buenaflor was fishing with his friends around 200 meters from the shoreline when their boat was slammed by a big wave, said Coast Guard District Western Visayas (CGDWV) spokesperson Commander Jansen Benjamin.

The victim was swept away by the strong water current, Benjamin added.

Buenaflor’s body was later found floating off the sea by the responding Coast Guard personnel.

He was rushed to the city’s Governor Valeriano M. Gatuslao Memorial Hospital but was declared “dead on arrival” by the attending physician. (Watchmen Daily Journal)
