Filipino window-cleaner falls to death in Dubai


MANILA, Philippines – A Filipino in Dubai died when he fell off a building where he was working as a window-cleaner.

Raymond Manzareno, 23, was cleaning a window in the 42-floor Citadel Tower Building when he fell and died.

Manzareno had only been working for 3 months in the Liverpool Cleaning Services.

The accident occurred near 12 noon last Sunday.

Though Manzareno fell from the first floor only, he hit the ground head first, causing his death.

The Citadel Tower Building is located in the Business Bay.

It was not clear if Manzareno was using a safety harness, according to the initial reports from his company. They are also not sure on the exact details of his fall.

Manzareno’s remains were brought to the police station's morgue. His employer is trying to find a way to bring his body back to the Philippines. With a report from Rachel Salinel, ABS-CBN News Middle East Bureau
