Ms Dacera was with several colleagues at the party and one colleague, Rommel Galida, woke up at around 10am and to find her asleep in the bathtub.
Mr Galida says he covered Ms Dacera with a blanket before going back to sleep.

Mr Galida raised the alarm and Ms Dacera was given CPR but failed to respond.
She was rushed to hospital where doctors confirmed her death.
Investigators said they are waiting for an autopsy but confirmed that the young woman’s body did have bruises and cuts including on her thighs and knees.
According to reports, officers discovered that around 10 people attended a private party in the room the group had rented, and one of the theories they are investigating is that she might have been raped or gang-raped.
