MANILA, Philippines – Injuries due to a fall caused the death of mountaineer Victor Joel Ayson, police said Monday, April 15.

Ayson, 27, was found Saturday evening, April 13, after he was reported missing for two weeks after a solo hiking trip at Mt Maculot, Cuenca, Batangas early morning of March 31.

Police said autopsy results ruled his death as caused by “blunt traumatic injuries in the body consistent with fall from height,” which included a fractured jaw, ribs, and pelvis.

His body was found at the rocky side of the mountain.

The police ruled out foul play, said Chief Superintendent Lisa Sabong of the PNP Crime Laboratory.

Chief Inspector Joseph Palmero of the crime lab said the mountaineer could have died the same day he went missing.

“We believe that it is an accidental fall. There was no indication that he was hurt before his fall,” Palmero said. – Rappler.com
