Based on the official report obtained by Bilyonaryo, Paolo and his wife, Deputy Social Secretary Dina Arroyo, had been in the U.S. since early March to visit family. They checked into the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel on March 3, where, according to Dina, the couple had been using cocaine, cannabis, and alcohol. On March 8, Dina said Paolo used cocaine at around 2:00 a.m., then cannabis around 3:00 or 4:00 a.m. to help him sleep. She believes he woke up around 11:00 a.m. and had gone into the bathroom. Dina told investigators she “cannot confirm or deny” whether he used drugs again while in the bathroom. When Paolo came out, he looked pale and sweaty. “He said he didn’t feel well,” Dina said. Moments later, he collapsed in front of her. She called the hotel front desk for help where the staff tried to revive him, followed by police and paramedics. Despite being given Narcan and CPR, Paolo was declared dead at 12:05 p.m.
