OFW found dead in Saudi hotel room
The Department of Foreign Affairs says the 52-year-old Filipina was reported missing 3 days ago. Her body was discovered on Saturday morning, August 18.

MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said it is looking into the case of a female overseas Filipino worker (OFW) who was found dead inside a hotel room in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, August 18.

In a statement on Saturday, the DFA said that the Philippine Consulate General in Jeddah only learned of the death on Saturday afternoon “after it was told by a concerned member of the Filipino community.”

The DFA later clarified that the OFW was reported missing 3 days ago, and her body was discovered on Saturday morning. 

“Initial inquiries made by the Consulate revealed that the deceased was single and 52 years of age at the time of her death. She first arrived in Saudi Arabia to work as a household service worker in 2007,” DFA said. 

Her identity was withheld, pending the notification of the victim’s next of kin.

“We are saddened to learn about the passing under still unknown circumstances of one of our kababayan (fellow Filipino),” Consul General Edgar Badajos said in the statement.

He added that the Consulate General is coordinating with local authorities to determine the cause of the Filipina’s death. Rappler.com
