Man leaps to death in Angeles City

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga, Philippines—A Caucasian-looking man committed suicide by jumping from the rooftop of a seven-story hotel in Angeles City, north of this city on Tuesday, the police said.

Senior Superintendent Rodolfo Recomono, Angeles City police chief, identified the foreigner by his known alias Tom Miller. His real identity and citizenship could not be immediately established, having no wallet or identification card in his pocket. He looked to be in his ‘60s and big bellied.

Recomono, citing accounts of a witness, said Miller entered the coffee shop of the Grand View Hotel in Barangay Malabanias. He then went to the rooftop and leaped to his death.

“He landed at the back of the hotel … which caused his death,” Recomono said.
