Rolly Francia, director of the DOLE Information and Publication Service (IPS), in a virtual forum, attributed the cause of death of OFW, Gladys Olarte Fong, in Kuwait City due to asphyxia.
Gladys Olarte Fong is believed to have committed suicide and she was found dead inside her room in the Al-Salam area in Kuwait City on March 14 and police had been informed as the Filipina had not come out of her room since morning. The door was broken open to gain entry to her room.
