Tyron Perez has sustained a gunshot wound on his right temple which is the cause of his death, according to police reports.
Tyron, whose real name is Jojo Malonzo Perez, was found dead at the back seat of a black Toyota Altis parked along the service road of the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) in Barangay Ugong, Valenzuela on Thursday night, December 29.
According to Senior Superintendent Wilben Mayor of Valenzuela police department, the Kapamilya actor died of a gunshot wound on the right side of his head from a caliber .22 gun which was found beside his lifeless body.
Based on this investigation, Perez most likely committed suicide but authorities still does not discount the possibility of a foul play.
In a report by ABS-CBNNews.com, Perez has been staying at the house of his friend Priscilla Salazar in Valenzuela because he and his wife were having problems.
"Basta ang alam ko lang may problema siya pero hindi niya masyadong dini-detalye, ano siya hindi masyadong madaldal," Salazar told ABS-CBNNews.com.
Perez' wife Liv, on the other hand, admitted that she and Tyron were having problems and that it was just normal for any relationship but she did not expect it to end this way.
Liv was talking to Perez before he died.
"Parang nahulog na phone. Narinig ko lang siya. Nag-struggle siya huminga. Nahulog na yung phone, hello ako ng hello wala na," she said.
The police department will still run a ballistics exam on the gun, while the actor’s cellphone will undergo a forensics exam at Camp Crame to confirm if Perez indeed committed suicide.
