MANILA, Philippines—A laborer at a building under construction died Friday night after he fell from the 16th floor of the structure in Libis, Quezon City.
The victim, Bernie Tuvilla, 39, was already dead when a bystander found him at around 7:15 p.m. at the Le-Gard 1 building in Eastwood City, Libis.
Case investigator Police Officer 2 Jogene Hernandez of the Quezon City Police District’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit said Tuvilla, a resident of Obando, Bulacan, was a mason.
Initial investigation showed that a bystander, Miguel Desemparado, discovered the victim’s body at the upper ground level, near the elevator of the Le-Gard1 building.
His fellow construction workers rushed him to the Quirino Memorial Medical Center but he was declared dead on arrival at around 7:35 p.m. by Dr. Joan Abraham Baguilat.
The other workers told police that before the discovery of Tuvilla’s body, they were busy installing electrical pipes on the 16th floor of the building.
No one among the co-workers noticed Tuvilla falling from the 16th floor.
Hernandez said the victim died of a contusion in the head and suffered abrasions on different parts of the body.
Police said an investigation was under way to determine how exactly Tuvilla died. –Julie M. Aurelio, Philippine Daily Inquirer
