Spin.PH's Reuben Terrado reported that 17-year-old C.J. Servillon passed away on Sunday at the Cardinal Santos Medical Center, where he was rushed following his collapse during the Light Bombers' match against the La Salle-Zobel Jr. Archers. Servillon fainted just as he was substituted in the second quarter of the game.
The exact reason of his death was not known, but a source told Dugout Philippines that the blistering heat on Friday played a factor in his collapse.
