MANILA, Philippines — Four inmates at the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) died in a span of three days, an official said yesterday. Two of the inmates were returnees who surrendered after their release under the good conduct time allowance was revoked by the government. NBP Hospital chief Henry Fabro said one returnee was taking a bath at around midnight on Nov. 14 when he collapsed and died. The other returnee, confined for acute myocardial infarction, community-acquired pneumonia and anemia at the NBP Hospital since Nov. 10, died at around 6 p.m. on Nov. 14, Fabro said. At least 29 NBP inmates died in the past month, BuCor records show.
