Matibag: NBI to probe student’s death after deworming procedure

A Grade 4 student in Cavite, Philippines, died following a routine deworming procedure at their school. The student's parents approached the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death. NBI Director Melvin Matibag confirmed that an autopsy and investigation would be conducted, with results to be shared first with the family and then potentially with the public. The Department of Education initially reported that the student's death was attributed to an infection leading to septic shock. The student's father denied any pre-existing illnesses and expressed intent to pursue an autopsy to determine whether the school was negligent in the incident.
