Swedish tourist found dead

CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga — A Swedish national was found dead in Ponderosa Hotel along San Pablo St. in Mt. View, Balibago, Angeles City, over the weekend.

Senior Superintendent Policarpio Segubre, Angeles City police director, said that John Lars Richard Kristoferson, 38, a Swedish tourist billeted at the said hotel was found dead by the hotel’s staff.

The foreigner was last seen alive last Saturday when he requested for a telephone line extension to his room, said Segubre.

Since then, he failed to come out and order his food, prompting a hotel staffer identified as Allan Manalac to report it to authorities.

When the room was checked, policemen found the foreigner already dead. — Ric Sapnu
