After all this time, they still don’t know what exactly caused the deaths of two people in this case.
“Acting Food and Drug Administration (FDA) deputy director general Lulu Santiago said they are continuing tests after receiving samples of the ErgoCha milk tea flavor that resulted in the deaths of shop owner William Abrigo and customer Suzaine Dagohoy,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
Santiago said in Filipino, “Last April 10, we were given a sample of the milk tea that the victims had ingested. We also got the powder and the syrup that was mixed in the drink.”
The report noted: “Although it has been weeks since the incident took place, Santiago said they will continue tests to help with further investigations on the case.”
Last April 9, Ergo Cha teahouse owner William Abrigo and customer Suzaine Dagohoy died after drinking milk tea bought from the store. Dagohoy’s boyfriend, Arnold Aydalla, had also ingested the milk tea. However, he survived, as he said he only drank a bit of it before he spat it out because it tasted strange.
