COVID Deaths of High-Profile BUCOR Inmates Suspicious

Government's key witness against Sen. Leila de Lima died of COVID19 

A recent report that there were several high-profile BUCOR inmates have died due to COVID-19 is highly suspicious. One of them is Jayvee Sebastian, who is a key witness against Senator Leila de Lima. Sebastian was cremated last Saturday at the Panteon de Dasmarinas Public Cemetery in Dasmarinas, Cavite. The death certificate showed that he died of acute myocardial infarction or heart attack related to COVID-19.

Several High-profile Chinese Inmates COVID19 Deaths

Several high-profile Chinese inmates were also among those who allegedly died of COVID-19 while inside the penitentiary. Chinese inmates Zhang Zhu Li, Jimmy Kinsing Hung, Francis Go, Jimmy Yang, Eugene Chua, and Ryan Ong were all cremated due to coronavirus infection. These people have been arrested for drug-related offenses.


The leader of Chinese inmates, Benjamin Marcelo and Amin Imam Buratong are also among the fatalities. Buratong is the operator of the shabu tiangge in Pasig City in 2009.

COVID Deaths at NBP Under Investigation 

The deaths of these inmates have raised questions about the real cause of their deaths. According to reports, an investigation is now being conducted to get the real story about this COVID-19 DEATHS. The police investigator, who declined to be named, was alarmed about how BUCOR handled the inmates' deaths. One issue is possible body-switching since they were immediately cremated. Cadavers of COVID patients must be cremated within 24 hours based on current health protocols.


The BUCOR'S silence on these COVID19 deaths has raised more questions. The inmates were convicted for drug related crimes so they have the money and connections. Some netizens said that fake-deaths could be possible. Meanwhile, Justice Secretary Menardo Gueverra had ordered BuCor chief Gerald Bantag to explain the alleged deaths of high-profile prisoners at NBP.
