Artist Bree Jonson, 30, was found unconscious in a hotel room in San Juan, La Union early Saturday morning, September 20, police confirmed to Philstar.com early Monday.

Jonson was taken to a hospital, which pronounced her dead on arrival.

Her companion, Julian Ongpin, 29, was arrested for drug possession after cocaine was seized from the hotel room.

Ongpin, an art patron, is the son of former trade minister Roberto Ongpin, chair of property developer Alphaland.

The cause of Jonson's death is to be determined after an autopsy.

Jonson, who had a successful though brief career as a painter, depicted the "dynamics of the natural world and the insights this provides into human nature" in her art, according to her website. She recently built a studio in La Union.
