A foreman working on behalf of the City Engineer’s Office in Sipalay City was killed after he fell from the fourth floor of the Sipalay City Hall, Sunday morning.
Police identified the fatality as Romeo Britaña, a resident of Sitio Cabadiangan, Barangay Camindangan in the said city.
Sipalay City police deputy, Police Senior Inspector Clifford Batadhay, said Britaña was inspecting the ceiling when he accidentally slipped.
Britaña was rushed to the Kabankalan City District Hospital, but was declared dead on arrival by hospital staff.
Although police presume Britaña’s death was an accident, Batadhay said they are still investigating the incident to make sure no foul play was involved./DGB, WDJ
