Two siblings died of suffocation after having difficulty breathing under a “balon” or well in Bacnotan, La Union.
A well is a hole in the ground made to draw water, oil, and other liquids. Water from wells is commonly used to quench the thirst of humans and animals, and to irrigate crops.
Unfortunately, two siblings lost their lives by cleaning their well.
Freddie and Federico Espiloy thought of cleaning the well because they had a problem with their source of water.
Freddie allegedly went down first but asked for help because he could not breathe. Federico tried to save him but he fell as he descended.
Watch the video report below about the siblings who passed away under well in La Union:
The well is said to be up to 70 feet deep and because of this, they got suffocated.
Since the well was tight and deep, rescuing the siblings became difficult.
Unfortunately, both were already dead when they were brought up.
