A RETURNING overseas Filipino worker (OFW) was found hanging lifeless from the bathroom ceiling of a quarantine hotel Monday before noon in Pasay City.

The body of the 40-year-old resident of Taytay, Rizal was discovered at around 11:17 a.m. inside the shower room of the quarantine hotel in Brgy 76 MOA Complex by an Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) housekeeper.

A report reaching the office of Southern Police District (SPD) Director P/BGen. Jimili Macaraeg showed that the housekeeper tried to call the victim several times inside his unit to deliver the food and groceries sent by his relatives but he failed to answer the call.

The housekeeper sought the assistance of an engineering management personnel and security supervisor to forcefully open the door where they found the lifeless body of the victim hanging inside the bathroom.

Macaraeg learned that the victim arrived at the quarantine facility from Papua New Guinea on Sunday, January 2, 2022.

Pasay police homicide investigators PCpl Evan Abaga and Pat Pio Calvo are still investigating the incident.
