Tyron Perez was found dead in Valenzuela according to reports.

Actor Tyron Perez was found dead inside a car parked along the NLEX service road in the vicinity of Brgy. Ugong, Valenzuela, as confirmed by people close to him.

According to Senior Superintendent Wilben Mayor of Valenzuela police department, the cause of the young actor’s death is still unknown as the investigation is ongoing.

However, GMA-7 news personality Mark Salazar claims on his twitter account that Perez has committed suicide.

Mark Salazar @MarkSalazarGMA7:

“Young actor Tyrone Perez committed suicide on December 29, 2011. He’s dead. Please pray for his family and friends.”

Tyron’s last tweet which he posted last November 24 on his Twitter account (@tyronperez) added mystery to his death:

Tyrone is married to a certain flight attendant who is currently in the country for a vacation, according to reports. But despite being with his wife, there are reports saying that Tyrone was always seen lately in the vicinity of Brgy. Ugong, Valenzuela, at the back of a friend’s house. This is why aside from suicide, foul play is also being looked into as a possible cause of the young actor’s death.

There are also reports saying that Perez has a gun shot wound but there’s no confirmation from the police regarding this matter as of yet.

26-year-old Tyron Perez was best known for being one of the finalists of the first season of GMA-7’s reality based artista search “StarStruck.” He is now the second StarStruck alumnus who died in the month of December after Marky Cielo.

Six months after his manager’s death (Douglas Quijano), Tyron transferred to ABS-CBN.

He appeared in the now defunct ABS-CBN drama series “Momay,” “Imortal” and “Mula sa Puso.”

Perez’ last TV appearance was the December 3 episode of “Maalaala Mo Kaya,” where he played the love interest of Ejay Falcon’s character.
