Guard dies of electrocution in flooded home

COTABATO CITY, Philippines -- A security guard of the National Food Authority died of electrocution while retrieving family belongings from his house in the flooded village of Biniruan here on Thursday, a city official reported Friday.

Sam Mundas, city disaster coordinator, said Baser Mohammad became the second fatality of the floods.

Earlier, Mundas said a 12-year-old freshman at the Tamontaka National High School drowned when swept by strong currents of the Tamontaka River.

He said Mohammad was electrocuted when he returned to their flooded house, after he had evacuated his children and wife, to get some important belongings.(By Charlie Señase;INQ.net)
