Lee Seon-kyun found dead in a parking lot near Waryong Park... Transferred to hospital by ambulance

Actor Lee Sun-gyun (48), who was suspected of drug use, was found dead in a vehicle.

Lee Sun-kyun was found dead at around 10:30 am on the 27th in a parking lot near Waryong Park in Jongno-gu, Seoul. A lightning bullet was found on the passenger seat of the silver Volvo SUV where Lee Seon-kyun was found.

Police confirmed Lee Seon-gyun's death at around 11:30 a.m. Lee Seon-gyun's body was taken to Seoul National University Hospital in an ambulance. Currently, a police line has been set up at the scene, and Lee Seon-gyun's vehicle is covered in white cloth. The police estimate that Lee Sun-gyun made an extreme choice.

Meanwhile, Lee Sun-kyun was investigated by police three times on charges related to drug use. In addition, a case was also being investigated in which a merged case was filed against Madam A (29, female, arrested) of a Gangnam entertainment establishment, accusing her of handing over 300 million won under blackmail.

It is believed that Lee Sun-kyun's extreme choice stemmed from the police investigation, including drug charges, the private life issue related to Mr. A that stemmed from this, and the guilt of causing great damage to the movie in which he starred.

With Lee Sun-kyun's death, the case related to Lee Sun-kyun is expected to end with 'no right to prosecute.'
