The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said the family members of Rosemarie Perez, the Filipino flight attendant who died suddenly on Thursday, have arrived in Hong Kong to attend to her remains.
Perez, a senior purser of Cathay Pacific, was found unconscious at the arrival hall of the Hong Kong International Airport on Thursday after a 12-hour flight from Italy to Hong Kong.
In a text message to GMANews.TV, DFA spokesperson Ed Malaya said "The Philippine Consulate General in Hong Kong is assisting the family of Ms. Rosemarie Perez."
"Ms. Perez died of a heart attack based on the report received from the hospital. The body was taken to the mortuary," Malaya said.
"The Philippine Consulate General in Hong Kong is closely coordinating with the family and Cathay Pacific officials in facilitating the repatriation of the remains of Ms. Perez to the Philippines," he added.
Jan Agoncillo, Cathay Pacific's assistant marketing manager in the Philippines, said no irregularities were reported during the flight (flight number CX234) from Milan, Italy which arrived at the Hong Kong International Airport at around 6:20 a.m. on Thursday.
"Shortly afterwards, she was found unconscious in the arrivals hall," Agoncillo said in an email sent to GMANews.TV on Thursday.
Agoncillo said Perez has been a cabin attendant for Cathay Pacific since 1998. – VVP, GMANews.TV
