MANILA, Philippines -- A 44-year-old Palawan resort owner died instantly Thursday morning after jumping from her 15th floor condominium unit at a 33-story building in Manila.

Before the suicide of Elena Flisi, the owner of the Dolarog Beach Resort in El Nido, Palawan, and a resident of unit 1501 of the Mayfair Tower at the corner of United Nations Avenue and Mabini Street, her 54-year-old Italian husband Edo Flisi claimed that she had been acting strangely.

?She had been showing signs of not being herself,? Flisi told SPO3 Richard Lumbad of the Manila Police District (MPD) homicide section.

Flisi, of unit 1501 of the Mayfair Tower who has been in the country for 20 years, disclosed that he returned to the country on September 7 as soon as siblings of his wife informed him that Elena had not been herself.

?We talked when I arrived at 12 midnight (of September 30) at our unit and her actuations were strange,? Flisi said in his statement. Lumbad pointed out that on September 18, the suicide?s mother died in Barangay (Village) Corong-Corong, El Nido, Palawan, and had to be transferred to Quezon Province.

Elena?s siblings told Lumbad that in Quezon Province, they noticed that the businesswoman was acting strange and had an albularyo (traditional healer) look at her because she acted as if she were possessed. She was reportedly never cured and remained depressed even after she returned to Manila to her home at the Mayfair Tower.

The case investigator revealed that Elena leaped from her unit window at around 10:20 a.m., on Thursday and died instantly from multiple fractures with the impact against the pavement along UN Avenue, crushing her bones.

Quoting Flisi?s statement, Lumbad said that the husband had just left their unit when the suicide completed her death jump.

Flisi told investigators, ?I did not see her jump because I was on my way down the tower and was boarding my scooter when a security guard told me to proceed to the lobby. When I went to the lobby, I passed by Elena on the pavement in front of the tower. She was already dead. There were already people crowding around her.?

Lumbad stressed that although it was an apparent suicide, homicide investigators have not completely ruled out foul play in the death.
