Quezon City has been shaken by the tragic deaths of 23-year-old model Gina Lima and her ex-boyfriend, 24-year-old Ivan Ronquillo. Their passing, just two days apart, has raised painful questions and launched a fast-moving police investigation.

Lima was found unresponsive inside her condominium on November 17. Ronquillo, who had been with her that night, rushed her to the hospital, but she was pronounced dead on arrival. Early reports pointed to possible cardiorespiratory distress, and while her autopsy showed no fatal injuries, doctors noted organ congestion and fluid in her lungs. Toxicology results are now crucial to understanding what happened.

Inside the condo, investigators found tablets and marijuana, which are being examined along with witness statements. Police say no evidence links Ronquillo to Lima’s death, and he had been treated strictly as a witness. Her management team has not yet released a statement.

Two days later, the story took an even darker turn. Ronquillo was found dead in the stairwell of his family home. Authorities believe he died by suicide after briefly being revived at the hospital. His death came amid intense online harassment, with strangers accusing him of harming Lima even before any results were released.

Digital creator Marlon Vergara spoke out against the wave of false accusations, revealing he had messaged Ronquillo out of concern. Ronquillo’s heartbreaking final posts expressed deep grief over Lima’s death and hinted at emotional collapse under public pressure.

Both families are now grieving, while investigators continue to search for answers. Further lab results may finally shed light on the mysterious events that claimed two young lives.
