AJ Perez Died in Car Accident: Dead on Arrival

Eighteen-year old ABS-CBN actor Antonello Joseph aka AJ Perez was declared dead on arrival at 12:10 AM on April 16 after he was brought to Paniqui Hospital. AJ together with his father Gerardo Perez, driver Christopher Bautista, and Star Magic and ABS-CBN road managers Christina Ferrer, Edwin Patelos and Dannilyn Nunga met an accident at along McArthur Highway in Barangay San Julian, Tarlac.

AJ together with other ABS-CBN artists attended an event in Dagupan. On their way home, according to Police Officer 2 Michael Millante of the Moncada Police, the van carrying the victims tried to overtake a trailer truck when it collided with the incoming Partas bus. Worst, it was only AJ who was seriously injured in the accident which caused his death. Two were injured while the other two were miraculously unharmed.


Earlier that night before AJ left from Dagupan, AJ thanked his fans who attended his show in Dagupan via Twitter. "On the way home already from Dagupan.Long drive ahead. Thanks to everybody who watched, thanks to zui for the gifts.And hi again to jarred!" he posted.

He also had an interview during that night before the accident stating that he has already finished taping for an episode in Maalaala Mo Kaya with child-star Bugoy to be aired on April 30. The former Sabel lead star also said that he misses dancing with the members of Gigger Boyz, an all male dance group of Star Magic in which he has been a part.

A tribute was given to the young actor by his friends from ASAP Rocks this afternoon and a special interview was done to some of his closest friends in The Buzz.
