Missing student found dead, possibly suicide

Anthony Granada, a 25-year-old De La Salle University student who went missing on June 8, was found dead in Naic, Cavite, on June 21.

His decomposing body was discovered in a vacant lot in Barangay Sapa, Naic, Cavite.

Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jonvic Remulla stated that preliminary findings suggest Granada's death was likely a suicide.

Granada reportedly ingested a liquid drain declogger mixed with milk tea, which caused severe internal damage.

Remulla noted that an X-ray was not needed as half of Granada's upper body was already "molten" by the chemical.

Granada was last seen leaving his condominium in Taguig City and was later captured on CCTV walking alone in Manila.

He was not connected to the property where his body was found, having entered an open gate after likely taking a tricycle from a resort.

The victim's father confirmed the identity of the body and requested privacy for the grieving family.
