The New York Police Department received a call last January 19 regarding an incident involving a 47-year-old individual who is unconscious and unresponsive in a hotel bed located at East 39th St. in New York City.

According to the Philippine Consulate General in New York, the deceased individual identified as Rodolfo Mañacap Jr., also known as Olivia Snow, has been reported missing for a few days.

Authorities said that they have seen no apparent signs of trauma to her body and that the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy to identify the latter's cause of death.

Philippine Consul General Senen Mangalile said they are still waiting for the investigation result and they have been in touch with the victim's family, assuring them of support and extending the assistance they need.

For now, the Philippine Consulate is looking into Mañacap's funeral arrangements and repatriation, saying that they will bring home his body in the Philippines as part of their commitment to the government.

Meanwhile, Mañacap was last seen in New Orleans, attending Miss Universe pageant events, according to friends and social media posts.
