Fetus found floating off Leyte coast

Authorities in Barangay Cabul-an, Capoocan, Leyte, are investigating the discovery of a female fetus found floating in coastal waters on July 16, 2026. The fetus was found by a local resident while bathing near the shore and was later retrieved by barangay officials and handed over to the police for examination. Preliminary findings suggest the fetus was between zero and six months old and showed signs of injuries possibly caused by marine life. Authorities are working to identify the mother and determine how the fetus ended up in the water. Local officials have requested cooperation from nearby coastal communities to locate any women who may have recently been pregnant.
