A Filipina domestic helper in Hong Kong was found dead by employer inside their comfort room on January 9, around 8:15 in the morning.

The OFW was identified as Erlinda Diego Cabulong, 45. She was rushed by her employer at TuenMun Hospital where she was declared dead. The cause of death was not immediately identified.

Diego orphaned her two children, both male, ages 25 and 23 in their province at Purok 4, Villa Santiago, Aglipay, Quirino.

Currently, her remains are situated in Kwai Chung Public mortuary and it remains unclear as to when she can get home to her family in the Philippines.

According to Mercedes Jasmin Diego, sister of the victim, autopsy report regarding the cause of death remains unavailable. As per her knowledge, her younger sister does not have hypertension, since people think she had aheart attack or stroke.

““Napakasakit ang biglaan niyang pagkawala, wala man siyang senyales na mawawala na siya dahil nakagroup chat at nakavideo call pa ang mga anak noong gabi bago siya mamatay, kaya di namin matanggap na wala na siya”says the older Diego.

Diego’s employer will shoulder the expenses for the repatriation of her remains until Manila only. Her family will be the one to handle the expense of bringing home her remains to their province in Quirino.
