SUBIC, Zambales – The body of a mountain bike racer who went missing on Sunday has been found by search and rescue teams in Sitio Naugsol, Subic town, Zambales.
Arnold “Bunso” Suero, a resident of Zambales, was a participant in the Subic Adventure Race but did not cross the finish line, even at the end of the race. His fellow team mates thought he had returned home.
He was declared missing only after his wife alerted race officials on Sunday evening. According to the race organizers, they immediately launched a search and rescue operation for Suero that lasted until early Monday morning.
The search team interviewed a local Zambales aeta named “Nestor” who, according to some accounts, may have been the last person to see Suero. Nestor, however, denied this.
Suero was found dead Tuesday morning at the bottom of the mountain in Sitio Naugsol in Subic town. According to other bikers, Suero was a veteran.
A racer who requested anonymity said via SMS, “The body was recovered and identified by his cousin. We are waiting at the bottom of the mountain for the first group to retrieve the body.”
Autopsy on Tuesday afternoon revealed that Suero died of coronary heart disease.
Nestor is currently in police custody for questioning over the incident.
Race organizers of Subicleta, who declined to be named, said they will extend assistance to the family of Suero.
