His father, Horacio Castillo Jr. earlier requested that they be given time to privately mourn his son’s death.

The UST student died after sustaining severe injuries due to what the police and his family believe as hazing.

His mother, Carmina, said earlier that her son sent his last text message on Saturday at around 9:00 p.m., saying he was at the welcoming rites of the Aegis Juris fraternity he recently joined. /je
