The Philippine police are examining a discrepancy between the time of death recorded on Rene Baterbonia's death certificate and the time he was recovered from the water during a drowning incident in Aurora. Baterbonia, along with Nigerian student Divine Adili, drowned during a team-building activity organized by Ateneo de Manila University. According to police investigators testifying before a Senate committee, Baterbonia was recovered at 3:40 p.m., but his death certificate lists the time of death as 3:33 p.m. This inconsistency is being investigated using medical personnel statements, hospital records, and explanations from the doctor who certified the time of death. Adili's body was reportedly recovered at around 3:45 p.m.
