NAMAYAPA na ang bunsong kapatid ng mga aktor na sina Elijah at Jerom Canlas na si Jamile Matthew Canlas o mas kilala bilang si JM Canlas nitong Huwebes ng umaga, Agosto 3, 2023, sa edad na 17.
Ang malungkot na balita ay kinumpirma mismo ng kanyang pamilya sa pamamagitan ng isang Facebook post.
“It is with the heaviest heart and deep sorrow that our family announces the death of our bunso, Jamile Matthew [JM] Madiclum Canlas, earlier this morning. He was 17,” pagbabahagi ng nakatatanda niyang kapatid na si Jerom.
Pagpapatuloy niya, “He was known to many, was a talented actor, athlete, musician, singer, debater, and gamer. He was always a proud Filipino with a bias and compassion for the poor and oppressed.
“But most of all, JM will forever be remembered as an incredible young man, son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, student, and friend.”
Tulad nina Elijah at Jerom, isa rin siyang aktor at lumabas sa ilang pelikula gaya ng “Kiko Boksingero” noong 2017 at “ANi” noong 2019. Lumabas rin siya sa TV series na “Unconditional” noong 2020.
Bagamat hindi na idinetalye ng kanyang pamilya ang dahilan ng pagkamatay ni JM ay nabanggit naman ng mga ito na nakaramdam ng struggle sa kanyang mental health ang binata.
Ipinaalala rin ng pamilya ni JM na kung may pinagdaraanang problema sa mental health ay huwag mag-atubiling humingi ng tulong.
