    The guys name is Philip Prins, looks to be in his 30s, former US Army. Took a beer bottle to the head this weekend at a local disco and was taken to Provincial Hospital. I'm told he is in a "comma". He had an ID that showed he was a staff member at Foundation University and his i-card showed he was on a work visa.

    I'm going to to try to get to the hospital tomorrow morning to verify he is still there and then see if the embassy can locate family/friends. If anyone knows the guy I'm sure information would be very helpful.

    Any updates on this? Sad the young man survived his Army duty then this crap happens to him. Hope he recovers and leaves Dodge.

    You got the pic from his FB profile? There are people in his friends list which I'm sure are his family. Probably you could send messages to some of them and possibly even get phone numbers.

    Joey Tygart is in his friends list. That's the only person I recognize. Joey might know him, but probably not well enough to help.

    I found some public info from one of his FB friends.

    Steven Prins posted a phone number 941-993-2567 in 2013 which seems to match up with Prinscraft Inc in Sarasota Florida. Also in Sarasota is another FB friend, Kay Prins. Might be the parents. Edit this out if you like, but it's already public.

    Edit: Yep, looks like Kay is the mother. So, that's likely your contact info.

    Another residence record for Steven K Prins. Maybe this is more current.

    Dear One and All:

    Being here in the States, I contacted the phone numbers that THE DUDE posted and spoke briefly with Philip's Father.

    THANK-YOU DUDE!

    His Father said Philip's Mother is on-the-ground and is located somewhere near the Hospital.

    Contact has been made with the VA (Manila) and with the US Embassy - details I do not know (NOMB) - but contact has been made by the family.

    Two of Philip's friends from Washington State (US) are there as well as another family member.

    Father reported that contact was made to them late Friday night (their time).

    Father stated that Philip may be in coma for another 2-3 weeks - I did not press for details (NOMB).

    On behalf of this website, I said all the expats here were pulling for his Son to recover.

    Father sounded mentally/emotionally grounded - did not sound like he was falling apart - but could hear the worry in his voice.

    I sent Father the very best from all the expats here, for which he seemed appreciative.

    Thank-you DUDE for posting - you just never know - and I am glad to have heard his family got notified quickly and are actively on-the-ground near Phillip.

    Father mentioned Phillip is involved in Journalism at the school.

    V/R,

    nwlivewire Nice work. I guess we can close the case on this one as his ongoing medical status is also NOMB. Condolences to his friends and family. The initial news must have been quite the shock. I wish him a swift and full recovery.

    Doing a search for Phil Prins on Facebook now returns unfortunate news. It appears he has passed away, if the information is correct. RIP Phil and again I give my condolences to family and friends.
