	Catholic Priest Found Dead after Date in the Philippines Monsters and Critics July 31, 2010 http://www.monstersandcritics.com/news/asiapacific/news/article_1574559.php/Catholic-priest-found-dead-after-date-in-the-Philippines Manila - A Filipino Catholic priest was found dead in his room in a seminary in the Philippines, a day after he allegedly went out on a date with a minor, a police report said Saturday. Father Baltazar Acompanado Junior was found dead with a gunshot wound on his head Wednesday inside his room at the Holy Rosary Preparatory Seminary in San Jose town in Camarines Sur province, 260 kilometres south-east of Manila. Police investigators said that the victim, who was the rector of the seminary, was found lying in bed, holding a pistol on his right hand in an apparent suicide, the report added. The probe also found that a day before his death, Acompanado, who was in his mid-thirties, allegedly went to nearby Naga City together with a 15-year-old girl. Police have taken into custody a woman who allegedly arranged the date, and are not discounting foul play at this point.
