The Philippine National Police (PNP) clarified that there were no missing internal organs from the body of artist Breanna “Bree” Jonson who was found dead in La Union last month.
According to PNP Chief Guillermo Eleazar, the supposed missing organs were only a misunderstanding.
Eleazar explained in a report on GMA’s “24 Oras Weekend” on Sunday that the lawyers of the Jonson family were part of a meeting with the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) where it was made clear that the organs were returned to the abdominal cavity after samples were collected as part of the autopsy.
All the organs were said to have been returned, but it was difficult to determine which were heart tissues as other organs such as the stomach were also placed in the abdominal cavity.
The NBI said they conducted an autopsy on Jonson’s remains in September, and agents and a forensic team were also deployed to La Union to conduct a crime scene investigation.
A separate autopsy facilitated by the police indicated that the cause of Jonson’s death was asphyxia.
Jonson’s body was found in the room she occupied with Julian Ongpin, son of businessman Roberto Ongpin, in a local hostel, after police responded to a report of an alleged suicide.
Jonson’s mother, Sally, claimed her daughter did not commit suicide as she believes that her daughter fought for her life after seeing Ongpin had scratches and wounds on his arm.
Ongpin had told police that he got the wounds while attempting to break through a small window into the bathroom, where he saw Jonson unconscious. Authorities who inspected the scene said it matched Ongpin’s testimony.
The legal team of Jonson’s family cited the initial medico-legal report of the Ilocos Training and Regional Medical Center “showed signs of struggle.” — Jon Viktor Cabuenas/DVM, GMA News
