A Navy man was found dead with a gunshot wound in his chest on board the BRP Tausug docked in barangay Tayud, Consolacion town, northern Cebu.
S2YN Carlito Gonzaga Hintay Jr., a native of Cavite, was found at his post aboard the vessel which was docked at the PRCC Shipyard in sitio Tawagan.
A gunshot from the area was heard around 4 a.m. last Wednesday.
Colleagues later found a bloodied Hintay.
The death is still being investigated to determine if the gunshot wound was self-inflicted or if foul play was involved.
PO1 Socrates Borinaga said Hintay had no conflicts with anyone at work.
Hours before the incident, Hintay was reminded by a senior officer to take extra care after Hintay was seen playing with his M16 rifle.
