Philippine Military Academy spokesperson Cheryl Tindog says they do not suspect foul play in the death of 4th Class cadet Mario Telan Jr. CNNPHNewsroomWeekend

[Translation: They did not see or notice that he was not able to come out after the jump. 23 of them, two instructors, swimming pool personnel, and cadets who are part of the class but did not participate—they are all questioned.]

Initial investigation also revealed Telan failed the first phase of the practical exams, which was a 100-meter freestyle event. Tindog likewise questioned why the instructors let the plebe participate in the second phase—floating and treading— when he was not ready for the next event. After failing to show up in his next classes on Friday, Telan was found in the deep end of the 15-feet campus pool. He was immediately rushed to the Fort del Pilar Station Hospital, but was declared dead on arrival by the attending physician.
