Major Harim Gonzaga was found dead inside his quarters by his wife, Sheila, at 8:50 a.m. Tuesday, Dagoy said. The 37-year old officer was a member of the PSG operations section, while his wife works as part of the Presidential Escorts.
“She found [her] husband lying dead and immediately upon knowledge to the information, she immediately directed the PNP, under PSG, to call for SOCO (Scene of the Crime Operatives) to conduct the immediate investigation on the cause of the incident,” Dagoy said.

He said a Norinco caliber .45 was found beside Gonzaga.
“Nung nakita ko personally sa loob ng kwarto, maayos naman ang pagkalagay. Walang signs of struggle. Na-preserve ang scene of the crime incident. Nakuha ng SOCO yung baril, ‘yung shell. ‘Yung ammo. So binigay na namin sa kanila lahat. Nakalaglag ‘yung baril accordingly, according to SOCO,” he said.
