    Pablo Reloj stabbed Justiniano Isagan, Sr. outside a cockpit with an ice pick wrapped in paper. Justiniano underwent successful surgery but later died of paralytic ileum. Reloj argued Justiniano's death was caused by the ileum, not the stabbing. The court ruled Reloj was guilty of murder, as his stabbing necessitated the surgery, and death was a natural consequence even if other factors contributed. Reloj's conviction was affirmed.

    People v. Reloj, GR No.

    L-31335, 29 February 1972 [Concepcion]

    FACTS: Pablo Reloj stabbed Justiniano Isagan, Sr. with an ice pick wrapped in a piece of paper
    outside a cockpit in Aklan. Afterward, Justiniano was brought to a hospital wherein he was operated
    upon successfully. However, five days later, he developed a paralytic ileum, which takes place
    sometimes in consequence of the exposure of the internal organs during the operation, which
    caused his death. The lower court convicted Pablo Reloj of the crime of murder and sentenced him
    to life imprisonment.

    Pablo Reloj states that the lower court erred in convicting him because Justiniano’s death
    was caused not by his stabbing but by the paralytic ileum.

    ISSUE: W/N Reloj is guilty of murder.

    RULING: YES. Every person is to be held to contemplate and to be responsible for the natural
    consequences of his own acts. If a person inflicts a wound with a deadly weapon in such a manner
    as to put life in jeopardy, and death follows as a consequence of this felonious and wicked act, it
    does not alter its nature or diminish its criminality to prove that other causes cooperated in
    producing the fatal result. Although the immediate cause of death of Justiniano was a paralysis of
    the ileum that supervened five days after the stabbing incident, when he appeared to be on the way
    to full recovery, the fact is that the surgery would not have been necessarily performed on
    Justiniano were it not for the wound that Reloj inflicted upon him.

    Conviction affirmed.
