Drugs, orgy linked to teen’s death

MANILA, Philippines ? Police are not discounting the possibility that drugs and a sex orgy gone awry might have led to the death of the 18-year-old television talent in a condominium building in Quezon City on Wednesday.

The victim, Benjamin Peralta, allegedly fell to his death from Unit 1 Penthouse of Tower B of Victoria Towers in Barangay (village) West Triangle at dawn Wednesday.

His body was found sprawled on the ledge of the sixth story.
Chief Inspector Benjamin Elenzano, chief of the homicide unit of the Quezon City Police District, said they were still waiting for the autopsy result that would determine how Peralta died exactly.

?Initial investigation showed that he was hurled or pushed to the glass window by a strong force that smashed the glass,? Elenzano said.

He quoted the victim?s girlfriend, Vanessa Enomoto, as saying she had seen the group get involved in wild parties before.

The group refers to Peralta and his companions at the penthouse unit who were identified as Ryan Lalin, Antonio Peña Jr., R. A. Carlos and Lucky Mercado.

?The people in the unit could have used ecstasy and the party of sex orgy went out of control that led to the death of the victim,? Elenzano said.

Officer on case, Police Officer 2 Rodel Tumangday, said they were also looking for the unit?s owner, a certain Arturo Peña Jr.

?Based on the statements of the security guards, he was at his unit before the body of the victim was found,? Tumangday said.
