TUGUEGARAO CITY, Cagayan, Philippines – A village watchman has died after he was bitten by a snake while defecating at a banana plantation near his house in Barangay Casalatan, Cauayan, Isabela.

The body of Felimon Andres, 59, was found in an advanced state of decomposition on Friday.

Police Officer 2 Alexander Guzman said Andres went to the banana plantation on Wednesday night because he could no longer wait for his wife to finish using the toilet.
