MANILA, Philippines — Singer-comedian Blakdyak was found dead inside his rented studio-type apartment on Monday night.
 
A televised report by CNN Philippines said he was found at 6 p.m. by his young son naked and with a plastic bag around his head.
 
Police said his son was wondering why his dad still had not opened his room so the kid peered from a window to check.
 
The Filipino-Barbadian known as Joseph Formoran Amoto in real life sang the novelty hits "Modelong Charing," "Noon At Ngayon" and "Asin At Paminta."
 
On June 2014, Blakdyak got arrested for allegedly creating trouble in an apartelle in Cubao. That same year in October he also faced drug charges.
 
According to investigators, it is still too early to say if there was foul play.
