| Only an autopsy could shed light on why Mylin died |
Mylin Delizo, one of three Filipino domestic workers who
died last month, will be flown home on Sept 13, as her relatives anxiously await
an autopsy report that could pinpoint the cause of her death.
Danny Baldon of the Consulate’s assistance to nationals
section said the 48-year-old Delizo’s remains were autopsied on Friday, Sept 6,
after her relatives sent a letter-request the coroner’s office.

employers would be shipping her remains to Manila aboard a Cebu Pacific flight.
Jonathan and Delizo’s estranged husband, Michael Ramos, will

Baldon and welfare officer Virsie Tamayao of the Overseas
Workers Welfare Administration initially met with the helper’s employers at the
Consulate but failed to get any more information that could shed light on why
she died.
Delizo’s employers for the past seven years said they found
her dead in the living room of their Lai Chi Kok flat around 7am on Aug 19 as
they were about to go to work.
They reportedly tried to rouse Delizo but that she was no
longer breathing. They dialed 999 and responding officers called an ambulance
that took her body to a public mortuary.
They in turn called ATN to report the death, and also found
a way to inform her relatives by calling the last dialed number in her mobile
phone. The number belonged to her niece in Singapore
Nobody could say for sure if Delizo had suffered from any
health problems.
Delizo was the third Filipina domestic worker to have died
in Hong Kong within 10 days in August.
On Aug 12, Milagrosa M. Aligaen, 63, who had worked
in Hong Kong for 29 years, was found
dead on her bed in her employer’s house in Shaukeiwan, apparently due to
heatstroke.
On Aug 22, Imelda Bartolome, 50, who worked in Mei Foo, died
in hospital of a heart attack. She came from Naguilian, Isabela.
Delizo came to Hong Kong in
1998 and had been supporting her mother, said her nephew. She was married but
had no children. – Vir B. Lumicao
