All of a sudden, he disappeared and went outside with the wife looking for him. Later she discovered that the well was opened and they saw the body floating. “



The wife and other people who joined her searching later saw the cement he had mixed with water which he might have taken before taking the plunge into the well. The men of the State Fire Service have come to remove the corpse which has since been deposited at the mortuary.”
