A GERMAN national who lost consciousness while inside a bank later died at a hospital in Angeles City, Pampanga.
In a report to Police Regional Office 3 director Brig. Gen. Jose Hidalgo Jr., the Angeles City police identified the fatality as Manfred Pietsch, 65, temporarily staying in Bgy. Malabanias, Angeles City.
