KOTA BELUD: A 24-year-old man, identified as Abner Lasmel, has been found dead after going missing when he was swept away by fast-moving river currents while spending time with friends in Kampung Tambatuon, near here.
His body was discovered this morning at around 7 a.m., marking the second day of search and rescue efforts.
Local residents located the victim approximately 1.2 kilometers downstream from where he was last seen, a distance attributed to the strength of the water flow.
The fire and rescue department confirmed the recovery and later transferred the body to police authorities for further procedures.
The search operation, launched yesterday afternoon, officially ended upon the successful retrieval of the victim, bringing closure to the mission.
