The mystery of a 5 ft 8 in Filipino engineer sent back from Saudi Arabia in a 2 ft casket

I wonder what kind of engineering feats the guy was  performing for one of America's wonderful allies. 

From YahooNews:
Grieving relatives of an engineer who reportedly died in a car accident in Saudi Arabia last June 4 are seeking the help of Vice President Jejomar Binay and the Senate to look into the circumstances of his death.

The victim, Engr. Albert Bautista, 29, stands 5 feet, 8 inches tall. But his remains were repatriated Tuesday in a two-foot sealed coffin.
Board Member Dexter Bautista “Teri Onor” Dominguez, a close relative and neighbor of the victim, said he received raw information that Bautista was still alive for four hours when he was brought to the hospital in Saudi Arabia after the reported accident. “But for unknown reasons, the victim’s body had been chopped into pieces and crushed beyond recognition when it arrived in a sealed coffin here,” Dominguez narrated.

Dominguez said the victim was already preparing to come home because his contract was already ending. But this (contract) was reportedly extended for 10 days during which time Bautista died.
“We will also look into the information that Engr. Bautista, who holds a sensitive position in his work in Saudi had discovered an anomaly in the company, and this could probably be the reason behind his murder,” Dominguez added..........
