Second autopsy report showed that New Bilibid Prison inmate Jun Globa Villamor, the alleged “middleman” in the killing of broadcast journalist Percival Mabasa, better known as Percy Lapid, may have been killed last Oct. 18, hours after the self-confessed gunman was presented to the public.
The result of Fortun’s autopsy was announced during a press conference, led by Remulla, at the Department of Justice on Saturday, Oct. 29.“This is the case of a 42-year-old male who was an inmate incarcerated at the New Bilibid Prison when he was allegedly found unresponsive and pronounced dead at the NBP Hospital on Oct. 18, 2022. The cause of death was certified as ‘dead on arrival, undetermined, for autopsy.
“Limitations were encountered in the examination due to the post-mortem interval, the previous embalming and autopsy. Fortunately, Fortun said Secretary Remulla provided her with more information concerning the death of Villamor.Remulla said he had informed Fortun that, before the inmate died inside the Bilibid last Oct. 18, Villamor made a “dying declaration” through messages he sent to his sister which showed that he feared for his life and that he knows who were involved in the killing of Percy Lapid.
He pointed out that when the NBI conducted the autopsy, they have yet to receive the information on Villamor’s dying declaration and the testimony of the Bilibid inmate that he was suffocated to death.When Fortun was asked to conduct the autopsy, Remulla said she was informed of the developments in the investigation on the case.He said the second autopsy showed that Villamor had methamphetamine which the initial NBI autopsy report did not indicate.
