Arthuro De Leon, the girl’s uncle received a call from her adviser saying that her niece got dizzy and is already in the hospital. He thought that it was just a minor injury so he got complacent on the subject but when he arrived in the hospital, the doctors were already performing CPR on her and then told him that her niece is already dead when brought to the hospital.
The father, Ruben, felt remorse about her daughter’s death. “I was shocked,” he said, “It felt like heaven and earth fell on me. It was hard as a parent to hear that something like that happened to his/her child. She was such a good and an obedient child.”
The family urged Rizal High School to conduct an in-depth investigation on the matter. Also, they said that the school should give its attention to the emergency precautions and procedures.
“In the school, they didn’t know the emergency procedures. Because if they knew, she’d still be alive until today,” De Leon said. “They could’ve alerted the hospital that it was an emergency.”
The police said they will further probe into the case.
Last Thursday, July 3, the girl’s corpse was brought to her clan’s hometown where she will also be buried.
