On July 7, 2015, Lee was found dead in their bathroom in Quezon City at the age of 15.[1][2]
Personal life
Lee Buencamino was the youngest child among four children of actors Nonie Buencamino and Shamaine Centenera-Buencamino.[3]
Career
Their film career began with a small role in the 2005 film Sandalang Bahay. The next year, they gained a supporting role in the film Inang Yaya. It was not until many years later that they received another role, for Oh My G! at ABS-CBN in 2015.[4]
Death
Buencamino was found hanging from a nylon rope in their bathroom by their family's household help at around 8:20 pm on Tuesday, July 7, 2015. Their brother, Gregorio, rushed them to the Cardinal Santos Medical Center in San Juan City. At 8:46 pm, they were declared dead on arrival.[1][2] Buencamino's father insisted that the police halt their investigations towards their death, as he was convinced that the cause of death was suicide.[2] Their remains were transferred to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Shrine at New Manila, Quezon City.[5] On their suicide note, posted on Tumblr a few days later, Buencamino revealed that they were a panromantic demisexual at the time of their death and had selected Lee as their gender-neutral name as they also identified as gender-neutral.[6][7]
