The body of a man was found hanging in the bathroom of the detention cell of the police station in Vallehermoso, Negros Oriental, early Sunday morning, in what initial police investigation tagged a suicide case.

The victim, identified as Juan Narciso, 57, a farmer and resident of Sitio Payawan, Barangay Tagbino in Vallehermoso, allegedly hanged himself sometime between 4 a.m. and 5.am. Sunday, a police report said.

Vallehermoso police chief Insp. Neolie Laturnas said Narciso apparently tore his jacket in strips and tied them together, to make the noose he tied around his neck to end his life.
