The three men who were reportedly trapped in a cave in the Salt Pond area of St Catherine, were found dead a short while ago.
Their identities have not yet been revealed.
The police’s Corporate Communications Unit reported late yesterday that a search and rescue operation was launched after the three men were suspected to have been trapped in the cave.
Reports were that about 10:00 am Monday, four men were extracting water from the cave to a nearby farm when they got into difficulties.
One of the men reportedly managed to escape and was taken to hospital.
Firemen today found the bodies of the other three men.
More information later.
