A model for male magazine and three others were found dead inside their rented apartment in Olongapo City early Thursday by authorities who were responding to a fire report, police said.

Senior Superintendent Abelardo Villacorta, Olongapo police chief , said the bodies of FHM model Scarlet Garcia, her cousin Rachel Estacio, George Castor Jr., the model’s live-in-partner, and a certain Wacky were recovered inside their apartment in Barangay Gordon Heights.

Reports said Garcia and Estacio were found inside the toilet with their hands tied.

"Naganap po ito mga between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. at maliban sa apat na namatay dito, itong apartment na tinitirhan ng mga biktima ay nasunog pa. May sunog kaya nag-responde ang ating fire bureau at ngayon ay ongoing pa ang aming investigation at meron kaming identity na ng mga victims," Villacorta said.

(The incident occurred between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. and aside from the bodies of the four victims the apartment was set on fire. The fire bureau responded because of the fire. We’re still conducting the investigation and we already have the identity of the victims)

Reports said the victims were already dead when the apartment was set on fire. The residents reported that they saw smoke coming from the apartment around 3 a.m. Police said the bodies, however, were not burned.

Police said the four victims were believed to be drinking hours before the incident.
