Comedienne Rufa Mae Quinto told fans in a Thursday night vlog that her husband, San Francisco police officer Trevor Magallanes, died in July of natural causes, citing an autopsy that ruled it a sudden death. She stressed there was no foul play and no suicide.
“Sudden death po ang nangyari… Wala pong suicide o foul play,” Quinto said, calling the loss “shocking” and “masakit.”
Quinto said she’s back at work to keep life steady for their daughter, Athena: “Gusto ko ring maging masaya para ‘yung energy ko rin ay makuha ng anak ko… kung makikita niya ako na… 24 hours na nagmo-mourn… umiiyak na rin siya.”
Addressing rumors about finances, she said: “Kami ni Trevor ay nag-asawa po kami para bumuo ng pamilya… hindi po kami nagkaroon ng problema sa pera kahit kailan,” adding any benefits require lengthy processing. “Actually hindi ko iniisip ‘yan kasi kaya kong buhayin ang sarili ko at anak ko.”
Magallanes’ older brother joined the vlog, noting a family history of heart disease. Quinto said the video was for closure: “After this we leave all this behind para maka-move on din ako.”
The couple married in November 2016.
