MANILA, Philippines — An overseas Filipino (OFW) was found dead in his hotel room in Haradh, Saudi Arabia, according to an embassy report.
The Philippine embassy in Riyadh said it received an email from the human resources manager of Total Safety, a company based in Al-Khobar, on the death of one of its Filipino employees.
The embassy did not identify the Filipino but said authorities are investigating his death.
The Filipino was found dead in his hotel room in Haradh on May 18.
“The embassy is coordinating with the family and the employer of the deceased OFW as well as with relevant Saudi authorities to facilitate the shipment of the OFW’s remains to the Philippines soon after a police report on the cause of death is finalized,” the embassy said in a statement dated June 8.
The embassy advised Filipinos in Saudi Arabia “to refrain from speculating” and making conclusions about the case.
