SAGADA Mountain Province – The correct name of the British national who allegedly committed suicide here was James Sennett, not James Semmet or Esset as earlier reported.

Police have not yet come out with an official report whether Sennett indeed committed suicide or was a victim of foul play.

Sennet, a 63-year-old retired engineer from Southampton, England was earlier reported to have committed suicide here in Barangay Demang on March 11 at their home where he stayed with his wife Carmelita Maslian, a native here.

A police report earlier said Sennette was found with a yellow cord tied around his neck.

Reports said the victim was rushed to St. Theodore’s Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

An autopsy conducted by the Regional Philippine National Police Crime Laboratory March 13 found Sennette died due to asphyxia by ligature.

Sennett’s body was buried in the Sagada community cemetery.
