The death of Christine Dacera occurred in the early hours of New Year's Day of 2021, when Dacera was found unconscious in a bathtub in a hotel in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines.
Dacera was a flight attendant for PAL Express who was based in Manila, Philippines.She was declared "dead on arrival" at around 12:25 p.m. (PHT) after she was rushed to Makati Medical Center.
Initially reported as rape and homicide case, Dacera's death certificate listed the cause of death as an aortic aneurysm, a form of aortic dissection; however, the Dacera family believed that Dacera was raped and disputed the medico-legal report.
In an investigation, eleven men who were with Dacera before her death have been described by authorities as "persons of interest".
The rape and homicide charges filed against the men were later dismissed due to lack of evidence, as well as all other cases filed against Dacera's mother, the lawyers of both parties, and the Philippine National Police medico-legal officer, respectively.
Dacera's death gained widespread media attention as a result of suspicious circumstances which appeared to contradict the findings of the Philippine National Police.
