A man jumped to his death from the second floor of the hospital where he was confined after an earlier attempt to commit suicide by stabbing himself failed on Thursday in Quezon City.
In a separate incident, also in Quezon City, a construction worker is now under close watch in a hospital after he survived a suicide try with the timely arrival of his brother.
The two separate incidents brought to nine the number of suicide cases recorded in Quezon City. “The frequency of such reports is alarming and I have ordered a study on how the police can get involved in its prevention,” said Chief Supt. Elmo San Diego, city district director.
PO1 Hermogenes Capili of the QCPD homicide section identified the dead victim as Rene Yurag of Cebu City. Yurag had at least 10 stab wounds in various parts of the body when he was brought to the hospital. Based on his relatives’ accounts, Yurag stabbed himself inside the bathroom of his cousin’s house in Sauyo Road where he had been staying since he arrived from Cebu a week ago. The relatives said they did not know why the victim would kill himself.
