The shocking demise of Lee Sun-Kyun, renowned for his role in Parasite, has taken a troubling turn as details surrounding the cause of his death emerge. Two days after the actor’s apparent suicide, it has been revealed that carbon monoxide poisoning may have played a role.
The disconcerting discovery occurred on December 27 when police found Sun-Kyun’s lifeless body inside a car near Waryong Park in central Seoul. Concerns arose when the actor’s manager couldn’t reach him, leading to a visit to his home. There, a distressing note left by Sun-Kyun was discovered by his wife.
Authorities, upon reaching the scene, observed evidence of lit charcoal briquettes inside the car, where Sun-Kyun had confined himself. Charcoal briquettes, commonly used for fuel, raised suspicions of a self-inflicted tragedy.
Despite this revelation, the circumstances surrounding Sun-Kyun’s death remain elusive, compounded by his family’s decision to forgo an autopsy. The acclaimed actor, embroiled in a publicized investigation for alleged illegal drug use, had faced severe public scrutiny, forcing him to withdraw from multiple projects.
The family’s choice not to pursue an autopsy adds another layer of mystery to Sun-Kyun’s tragic end, leaving many questions unanswered about the acclaimed actor’s untimely passing.
