According to a report from ABS-CBN News, Tyron Perez (real name: Jojo Malonzo Perez) was found dead while at the backseat of a black Toyota Altis car along Barangay Ugong in Valenzuela City.

He died of a gunshot wound on his head with the gun found near his body.

Police investigators
initially deemed Tyron's death as a suicide, but they're not ruling
out the possibility of a foul play.

Investigation further stated that the car was parked at the area since morning the same day.

'Bandila' news anchor Boy Abunda shared last night on the show that according to his sources, the vehicle was parked near the residence of Tyron's friend,
where the actor was staying for a couple of days already.

The friend has been identified just this morning as Priscila Salazar.

Tyron left a wife named Liv, a flight attendant, and she confirmed to ABS-CBN News that she and Tyron indeed had marital problems before his death.

Tyron Perez was only 26 (Sep. 14, 1985 - Dec. 29, 2011).

Incidentally, December 29 is the death anniversary of Miko Sotto, a
21-year-old actor who passed away in December 29, 2003.

Miko, who was Angel Locsin's boyfriend that time, died after he fell
from the 9th floor of a condo unit in Mandaluyong City.

(And also, Tyron's death almost fell on the 30th death anniversary of 80's popular young actor Alfie Anido, who died in Dec. 30, 1981, at age 21. He was also believed to have committed suicide.)

In 2008, Kapuso actor Marky Cielo also died at a young age and it was also in the month of December. Cause of death still a mystery, Marky, 20, passed away on Dec. 7.)

Just like Tyron, Marky was also a product of GMA 7's artista-search program "StarStruck" (the show with the tagline "Dream, Believe, Survive!"). Marky was StarStruck Season 3's grand winner (Ultimate Sole Survivor).

Eight months ago, a " Perez" also died young. Aged 17, Kapamilya teen star AJ Perez died
in a car accident in Tarlac, which happens to be Tyron's home province. (AJ and Tyron were not related though.)
