A 63-year-old man was found dead inside a Quezon City hotel on Tuesday midnight, around three hours after he checked in with a woman.
Although the body of Ernesto Balibag, a widower and resident of Guadalupe Nuevo in Makati City, bore no signs of external injury, the police said they were looking for his companion who left the hotel ahead of the victim to determine if she could shed light on his death.
Balibag鈥檚 body was found in a room at Lykas Hotel on Imperial Street in Cubao, after a staffer was sent to check on him when he failed to respond to phone calls informing him that it was check-out time.
PO2 Alvin Quisumbing of the Quezon City Police District鈥檚 Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit said that based on hotel records, the victim checked in at 9 p.m., followed shortly by a woman who left at 11 p.m. Jeannette I. Andrade
