February 13, 2011

Angelo Reyes committed suicide 7:55 in the morning of August 8, 2011 infront of mothers tomb at Loyola Memorial Cemetery in Marikina City, Metro Manila with using his .45 caliber pistol in the chest.  He was with his two sons, his security and driver that morning.

It was reported that he was so depressed with the ongoing investigation of his participation in the malversation of  P300-million UN fund intended for AFP modernization and salaries of Philippine military UN peacekeeping contingent in East Timor and Haiti.

He was grilled by Senators Jinggoy Estrada and Antonio Trillanes who told him that he has no reputation to protect. Nonetheless, he was given heroes burial by the AFP and laid him at the Libingan ng mga Bayani despite people's protest.
