Early examinations reportedly found no bruising or strangulation marks, but investigators have not ruled out foul play.
Her ex-boyfriend Ivan Cezar Ronquillo, who boasts tens of thousands of followers online, was said to have found Gina unconscious after staying the night.
He woke in the early hours to find she wasn’t moving and drove her to a nearby hospital, it is said, as reported by Need To Know.
He is said to be co-operating with police.
Gina, originally from Bayugan but living in Quezon City, in the Philippines, appeared in the 2018 romantic fantasy film My Fairy Tail Love Story and the adult drama LiveShow 4.
She also amassed more than a million followers on social media.
Friends have reportedly claimed Ronquillo physically abused her during their relationship.
Gina – believed to be 23 – is survived by two older sisters and a brother.
In September, one sister wrote: “I miss you, Gina Lima.
“You’re the only one far away from us siblings.
“I wish you were living here in Bayugan too.
“Take care always in Manila.”
The investigation is ongoing.
