Warning: mention of possible suicide.
According to the police, Lee Sun Gyun has passed away.
On December 27, the Seoul Seongbuk Police Station reported that they had found an unconscious man inside a parked car in Seoul’s Waryong Park. They had gone to the site after receiving an emergency call from a woman who said her husband had left the house after writing what appeared to be a suicide note.
Later that morning, the police confirmed reports that the man in question was Lee Sun Gyun by stating, “His identity has been confirmed.”
The police are also said to have found evidence of lit charcoal briquettes inside Lee Sun Gyun’s car, further suggesting that his death may have been a suicide.
Starting this past October, Lee Sun Gyun had been under investigation by the police on charges of illegal drug use.
We offer our deepest condolences to Lee Sun Gyun’s family and friends during this painful time.
