Filipino-Chinese model Randy See, who won the inaugural edition of Mr. Chinatown in 2013, died in a car accident in Manila, just five days before his 35th birthday.
See’s death was confirmed by his partner, Ashelly, through a statement shared on her Instagram page last Saturday, Oct. 17.
‘In the early hours of this morning, Randy was involved in a car accident while driving alone in Manila. He has passed away,’ a rough English translation of her statement in Chinese reads.
Ashelly added that a farewell ceremony is being held for See in Manila until Monday, Oct. 19, with his inurnment scheduled on Tuesday, Oct. 20. No further details about the accident were disclosed to the public.
‘Thank you to all the friends who loved Randy. He will continue to live on in everyone’s memories and hearts,’ she concluded.
Aside from modeling and pageantry, See also had acting stints in the films ‘Feng Shui 2’ (2014) and ‘Beauty and the Bestie’ (2015).
