Call center worker jumps to his death
The police have ruled out foul play in the death of a call center supervisor who fell from a high-rise building in Makati City Monday morning.
Christian Sanchez, 27, a resident of Signal Village in Taguig City, was declared dead on arrival at Makati Medical Center after he fell from the seventh floor of the 52-story PBCom Tower at the corner of Ayala Avenue and V. A. Rufino Street at 8:05 a.m.
Citing witnesses, Chief Insp. Reycon Garduque, Makati police investigation chief, said that Sanchez climbed over a railing on the seventh floor and then jumped to his death.
“He went to the cafeteria to eat and then walked up to the railing of the building and then jumped. This was witnessed by employees on the seventh floor,” the police official added.
Investigators concluded that Sanchez committed suicide and there was no foul play involved in his death.
“Even the family of the victim was convinced he had committed suicide,” Garduque said.
The victim’s family told the police that Sanchez suffered from a medical condition although they refused to elaborate, the police official added.
“According to his family, he had been depressed over the past few days,” Garduque said.
