According to a statement from the TV network, Cielo’s mother, Mildred, went into her son’s room in their house in Antipolo City to wake him up at around 10 a.m.
When Cielo (Mark Angelo Cadaweng Cielo in real life) did not respond, Mildred rushed him to the nearby Antipolo Doctor’s Hospital where the actor was declared dead on arrival, the statement added.
While it appeared that Cielo died in his sleep, as of this posting, the cause of Cielo’s death was unknown as his family was still waiting for his medical records to be released.
“The family is experiencing tremendous pain because of Marky’s death and is requesting for your prayers. It is also their wish that this matter remain private for now,” the GMA statement said.
