The De La Salle University (DLSU) mourned the death of a law student, who was reported missing and was found dead on June 21.
In a statement, the De La Salle University Tañada-Diokno School of Law said it “deeply mourns the loss of one of its students and sympathizes with the family and friends of the deceased.”
“School administrators have been in contact with the family since the student was first reported missing, and guidance counselors are in constant communication with the classmates. We call on the community to unite as a family as we continue to pray during this time of profound grief,” it said.
On June 21, DLSU-Bonifacio Global City law student Anthony Granada, 25, was found dead by authorities in a vacant lot in Barangay Sapa, Naic, Cavite.

His brother, Ricky, posted on Facebook last June 15 that Anthony “is missing. He is a law student at DLSU BGC and usually stays within Taguig area.”
He said Anthony “was last seen at Ridgewood Premier Condominium, Taguig (along C-5 Road Northbound) on Sunday, June 8, 2025, around 6:30 PM. He's about 165cm (5'5) and weighs 60kg (132 lbs). He was wearing a white sweater, blue jogging pants with two yellow stripes, and white Crocs slippers. Our family is incredibly worried. Every share and every bit of info helps us bring him home. Thank you very much.”
On June 21, Ricky Granada announced that Anthony was found dead.
“We just want to update everyone that my dearest brother Anthony Granada has been found, but unfortunately he is with our Creator now. On behalf of my family, I would like to express our sincerest gratitude to each and everyone for all your support and prayers during this difficult time. Your kindness has been a great comfort to our family. As we navigate this period, we kindly ask for your understanding and respect for our family's need for privacy to grieve in the moment. Thank you very much and God bless us all,” he said.
The police said Anthony Granada’s body was discovered at 1:20 p.m. on June 21 in an advanced state of decomposition in a vacant lot in Barangay Sapa, Naic, Cavite.
Authorities found a plastic bottle with the label “Drain Clog Free,” a chemical used to dissolve grease, beside the body. Anthony Granada’s body was identified by his father.
On June 8, Anthony Granada booked a Grab taxi bound for the Naic town plaza in Cavite. He was last seen in CCTV footage at 9:23 p.m. on June 8 walking along Lopez Jaena Bridge.
