Police "Dead man identified as actor Lee Sun-kyun"

Actor Lee Sun-kyun was found dead in his car.

On the 27th, Seoul Seongbuk Police Station announced that a man was found collapsed in a vehicle parked in a park in Jongno-gu, Seoul. The police were dispatched to the scene after receiving a 112 report that “the husband left the house after writing a note that looked like a will.” It is said that there were traces of lighting a lightning bomb at the scene.

Regarding whether the man found was Seon-gyun Lee, the police said, "The identity has been confirmed."

Lee Sun-kyun has been under police investigation on suspicion of drug use since last October. However, following a simple reagent test, it was judged negative in a detailed analysis by the National Institute of Forensic Science.

Lee Sun-kyun, who had been investigated by the police three times, requested a lie detector test on the 26th.
