Natagpuan patay at may tama ng bala sa magkabilang sentitdo ang 85-anyos na dating alkalde ng Silay City, Negros Occidental nitong Lunes (December 2).

Kinilala ni Lt. Col. Mark Anthony Darroca, hepe ng Silay City police station, ang biktima na si dating Mayor Carlo Gamban na nanilbihan bilang punong ehekutibo ng Silay City noong 2001 hanggang 2007.

Ayon kay Darroca si Gamban ay sugat sa kanan at kaliwang sentido at natagpuan ng dalawang kasambahay sa kanyang silid.
Isang revolver at slug ang nakuha ng mga imbestigador malapit sa katawan ni Gamban.

Bagamat may suspetsa ang mga pulis na ang nangyari ay accidental firing, inaalam din ang posibilidad na nagpatiwakal si Gamban.

Sinabi ni Darroca na dalawang kasambahay ng dating alkalde ang nakarinig ng putok ng baril bandang alas-2 ng hapon mula sa silid ng biktima.

Agad nag-imbestiga ang dalawa at dito nga nila natagpuang duguan si Gamban.

Sinabi ng mga kasambahay na wala silang nakitang sinuman pumasok sa kuwarto ni Gamban bago nila narinig ang putok ng baril.

Sang-ayon din sa kanila, tatlong linggo nang may karamdaman si Gamban.
