An 18-year-old Grade 12 student from Kalayaan town, Laguna had allegedly died due to hazing by the Tau Gamma Phi Fraternity on Sunday.
According to a report from the Kalayaan police, the victim identified as Reymarc 'RR' Rabutazo has undergone initiation rites by Tau Gamma Fraternity at the mountainous part of Twin Falls, Brgy San Juan, Kalayaan, Laguna.
He was rushed to a hospital in the municipality of Pakil where he was declared dead on arrival.
