A 17-year-old boy was found hanging by the neck in his house in barangay Bangkal, Lapu-Lapu City at dawn Saturday.
The dead boy was found by his mother under their house.
An electrical cord was tied around his neck and the other end was tied to the bamboo slats of the house’s elevated flooring, a height of about eight feet, said PO3 Candido Barenque of the Lapu-Lapu City Police Office.
Police have recommended an autopsy to determine the cause of death and whether foul play was involved.
The teenager was last seen in a drinking session with friends.
The boy’s parents told police their son started acting strangely after he told them he found a ring a few days back.
The boy claimed that the ring gave him extra strength.
After his revelation, the parents said they noticed the teenager behaving unusually.
He was more hotheaded and depressed in recent days.
The parents said the boy explained that he was depressed because he failed to complete a task that would “give him additional powers”.
On Friday night, the boy asked money from his parents and had a drinking session with friends.
The mother said she didn’t notice her son come home.
She went out of the house looking for him only to find him hanging by the neck under their house about 2 a.m.
