Trigger Warning: Suicide
Inilabas ng Quezon City Police District (QCPD) ang resulta ng isinigawa nilang imbestigasyon sa pagkamatay ng modelong si Ivan Cezar Ronquillo.
Natagpuang "unresponsive" si Ronquillo sa loob ng kanyang tirahan sa Barangay Apolonio Samson, Quezon City, nitong Miyerkules ng umaga, Nobyembre 19, 2025.
Si Ronquillo ang kasintahan ng freelance model na si Gina Lima, na binawian naman ng buhay dahil sa cardiorespiratory distress noong Nobyembre 16.
Pinaniniwalaang nagkaroon ng depresyon si Ronquillo, at minabuting tapusin ang sariling buhay dahil sa online bashing at maling paratang na binugbog niya si Lima kaya binawian ito ng buhay.

"They then cut the hose used as ligature and sought assistance from Brgy. Apolonio Samson officials, who transported the victim to the Quezon City General Hospital.
"Despite efforts to revive him, the attending physician declared him dead on arrival at 7:20 AM.
"A cursory examination showed no external injuries other than the ligature mark on his neck.
“Prior to the incident, relatives stated that the victim had been experiencing emotional distress following the sudden passing of his girlfriend the previous day.”
