His sister Annie Osmeña-Aboitiz was quoted as confirming that the former lawmaker and Toledo City mayor died at 2:45 p.m. in his condominium unit in Cebu City.
The cause of death was undisclosed, but Osmeña “was immediately cremated” after his death, the statement read.
His former staff Ferliza Contratista also posted about the death of the former senator on Facebook late Tuesday night.
Osmeña was a member of the Senate during the Seventh Congress until the Ninth Congress from 1970 to 1995, and again in the 11th Congress and 12th Congress, from 1998 to 2004.
