He says Sergio Mazza died in a hospital on Thursday morning from three gunshot wounds to his head.

Police investigators don't think that robbery was involved because Mazza's money and belongings weren't taken.

They haven't pointed to a motive. Crime is rampant and guns are easily available in the Philippines, but security is tight in Makati, where foreign embassies and multinational companies are located.

German Embassy officials could not be reached for comment. Hotel staff say they will release a statement later.
