Young actor Marky Cielo was reportedly found dead inside his bedroom, in his family’s Antipolo residence yesterday, December 7. Marky was just 20 years old. According to doctors they are considering acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis as the possible cause of the teen actor’s death. It is the same cause of death of former matinee idol Rico Yan in 2002.

Marky is the product of GMA-7's reality-based star search Star Struck. He was declared the Ultimate Male Survivor and Sole Survivor of the show’s third season in 2006. Known for his smooth dance moves, Marky last performed live on stage in the recent 22^nd Star Awards TV with ABS-CBN stars Maja Salvador, Rayver Cruz, Erich Gonzales and fellow Star Struck winners Mark Herras and Ryza Cenon.
