San Juan police chief, Maj. Gerardo Macaraeg said that cocaine was found in the room shared by Bree Johnson and Ongpin- who will be charged with illegal possession of drugs.
Based on the article published by PEP.ph, the two checked in the early evening of Friday, September 17. Apparently, they stepped out before midnight and returned to their room at around 3 a.m.
Ongpin rushed out of their room thirty minutes later calling for help. He claimed that he found the Filipina artist lifeless in their bathroom.
Ongpin, who looked anxious at the time, told the police that the painter took her own life. She was rushed to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead.
Meanwhile, netizens turn to social media, crying for justice following the sudden demise of Bree Johnson.
