So my sister was the one who first told me about this a while ago. She came up here and said, "Patay na si Marky Cielo" and I was silent for a while then, "Ha?"
Wow! I thought she was kidding, but she looked somber and I knew how much she liked Marky.
Marky is one of the few whom I actually liked in GMA-7. He's a great actor and his deep family roots is what made him more interesting.
At 20, it was so unbelievable that someone like him would just die like that. I was even thinking, "Oh no, not another Rico Yan."
There was no news yet on how he died. The only thing I knew from the news was that he died in his sleep, which of course seemed impossible, for I am a nurse and I know that one doesn't simply die in his sleep unless he forgets to breathe.
Of course, I wouldn't suspect that Marky forgot to breathe.
And I also didn't want to suspect that it was drugs or something. Marky is a really nice guy, as far as I'm concerned and I know, in the height of his career (being in LaLola, a TV series in GMA that is still on air), he wouldn't try to waste his life.
I just hope they would be able to identify the cause of death sooner and for now, condolences to the family that Marky has left.
