According to authorities, the woman, who was on the final leg of her long journey home, suffered an Acute Ischemic Attack, commonly known as a mild stroke.
Police Lieutenant Stephen Polinar, the spokesperson for the Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office, confirmed the findings in an interview with Bombo Radyo Bacolod.
The victim, identified as Wilma Auza, a 41-year-old single woman, was found unresponsive on a passenger bus traveling from Dumaguete.
Her death marks a heartbreaking end to an arduous and long-awaited journey back to her family.
The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, August 5, came after Auza had completed a complicated route home. Her travel documents indicate a multi-stage journey that began in Kuwait, with a connecting flight in Japan before arriving in Metro Manila.
From there, she traveled by bus to Cebu, crossed to Dumaguete via a RORO ferry, and finally boarded a bus bound for her hometown in Barangay San Isidro, Manjuyod. It was on this final bus ride that tragedy struck.
According to a previous report, fellow passengers noticed Auza appearing ill and vomiting before she fell asleep.
It was only when they were unable to wake her that they raised the alarm. Responders and police were called to the scene.
The official confirmation that her death was caused by a stroke sheds new light on the events, suggesting that her symptoms were a manifestation of a serious medical episode.
The physical and emotional toll on OFWs from long-haul travel, often combined with the stress of working abroad, is a significant and often overlooked aspect of their sacrifice.
Auza's passing serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of a demanding lifestyle, where the body and mind are pushed to their limits.
Her family, who were eagerly awaiting her return, have been notified of the tragic news. The authorities have ensured that the proper procedures are being followed, and her body has been returned to her family for a final farewell.
The incident has left her community in mourning, turning a moment of joyous reunion into a time of profound sadness and loss.
