A Japanese national died on Thursday night while inside a club in Antipolo City, Rizal after engaging her guest relation officer (GRO) in a squabble, police said.

A report from the Antipolo City Police identified the victim as Oikawa Masahiko, 48, from Tokyo, Japan, but now residing at Lot 36, Block 37, Orchids St., Phase III, Grand Valley Subdivision, Barangay Mahabang Parang, Angono town in Rizal.

Police said the victim’s carotid ruptured after he fought with the GRO she hired at WRL Disco Pub, located along Circumferential Road in Barangay San Roque, Antipolo City, the other night (Thursday).

“His blood pressure shot up. And this resulted to his carotid being ruptured,” a police officer said, quoting a medical report.

“There is no foul play here,” he added.

The police report disclosed that Masahiko went to the club with the brother of his live-in partner, identified as Eduardo Lacsamana, at around 10:30 pm. The two first settled on a table in front of the stage and consumed two bottles of beer each.

They then transferred to the VIP room separately – Masahiko to VIP Room #1, and Lacsamana to Room #2.

The report said Masahiko was first joined in the room by GRO Trixie Gonzales, 26, and then followed later by another GRO, Maureen Manalo, 25.

While drinking beer, Masahiko allegedly forced Gonzales to have sex with him, which the GRO denied, ensuing a scuffle.

Masahiko allegedly got mad and went berserk by throwing glasses on the floor and hitting Gonzales in the head.

Gonzales retaliated by also hitting Masahiko, leaving a scratch on the left side of the latter’s face by her fingernails. After that, the two GRO’s immediately left the room.

Masahiko followed outside and proceeded to the rest room where he would be found later dead, in a prone position, the report said.

Masahiko was still rushed to the nearby Unciano Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival by the attending physician, identified as Dr. Marcel Aquallo./DMS
