Her death comes just 10 days after another OFW also collapsed from heart failure. Mary Grace Perater is still fighting for her life in hospital after undergoing surgery.

Several friends of Lachica posted and reposted
pictures and videos of her undergoing CPR (cardio pulmonary resuscitation) on
site, but she did not look responsive.
One friend said she had just taken her ward to
school when she collapsed. Some said it must have been from heatstroke although
the weather today was not too hot.
