Recently, it was questioned if Angelo Reyes will be given a Catholic burial since he committed suicide. Suicide is regarded as mortal sin in Catholic religion. However, Bishop Leonardo Medroso, CBCP Episcopal Commission on Cannon chairman said that Catholic church considered a person who committed suicide be given a religious burial if he/she is not on his mental state, just like Angelo Reyes.


Angelo Reyes died in 66 because of a gunshot wound at his chest brought by his suicidal plan last Tuesday in front of his mother's tomb.
