A missing 16 year-old boy has been found dead under a 40-feet deep hole at the center island on EDSA in Quezon City.
The victim’s body was discovered and pulled out from the deep hole after repeated attempts, according to GMA News.
The victim was identified as Reniel Reano and was reported missing since August 12.
The mother said they were living at the center island and the boy’s body was only 25 meters away from where they were sleeping.
Reniel’s mother said that her son might have suffered from his medical condition and fell into the hole.
“Maghuhugas na ako ng paa, pagdungaw ko po nakita ko ‘yung tsinelas niya na pula. ‘Yung sabon niya po, singsing, nakalagay sa bato….Naliligo po siguro tapos inatake ng epilepsy,” the mother said.
The Quezon City Police is now investigating the incident.
“Kasi dyan sila kumukuha ng tubig. Posible pong naaksidente siya at nahulog dyan na walang nakakita. Aalamin po natin kung posibleng may tumulak sa kanya,” PSS George Caluba, QCPD CIDU, was quoted as saying.
