Retired teacher found dead in apparent drowning in Eastern Samar

A 61-year-old retired teacher named 'Leo' was found dead in the seawater off Barangay Mina-anod in Llorente, Eastern Samar, on September 7, 2026. Local police are investigating the incident as an apparent drowning. The victim was discovered floating face-down in the water at 6:10 p.m. by a fisherman who alerted authorities. According to preliminary reports, Leo had arrived in Barangay So-ong earlier that day via a small boat, accompanied by visitors. After docking, he reportedly left alone on the same boat and was not seen again. Authorities retrieved the body from the water and confirmed his death at Llorente Medical Hospital.
