Career
Her film career began with a small role in the 2005 film Sandalang Bahay. The next year, she gained a supporting role in the film Inang Yaya. It was not until many years later that she received another role, for Oh My G! at ABS-CBN in 2015.[4]
Death
Buencamino was found hanging from a nylon rope in her bathroom by her family's household help at around 8:20 pm on Tuesday, July 7, 2015. Her brother, Gregorio, rushed her to the Cardinal Santos Medical Center in San Juan City. At 8:46 pm, she was declared dead on arrival.[1][2] Buencamino's father insisted that the police halt their investigations towards her death, as he was convinced that the cause of death was suicide.[2] Her remains were transferred to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Shrine at New Manila, Quezon City.[5] On her suicide note, posted on Tumblr a few days later, Buencamino revealed that she was a panromantic demisexual at the time of her death and had selected Lee as her gender-neutral name as she also identified as gender-neutral.[6][7]
