The latest case involves South Korean actor Lee Sun-Kyun, renowned for his role in the Oscar-winning film "Parasite." Shockingly, he was recently discovered lifeless in his car, with a charcoal briquette strategically placed nearby, suggesting a potential cause of death as self-inflicted carbon monoxide poisoning.
From OK! Magazine:
The Helpless actor was not transported to a hospital for emergency care, as he was pronounced dead at the scene, the news outlet revealed.
Sun-Kyun's cause of death has not been confirmed at this time, however, the All About My Wife actor had left a message similar to a suicide note at home prior to driving away from home and assumably arriving at the park where he lost his life.
His family had discovered the note and alerted the police, though it was too late by the time authorities arrived at the scene.
Sun-Kyun's unexpected passing comes in the midst of a South Korean drug investigation.
The A Hard Day actor completed three rounds of interrogation by police due to suspicion he was using marijuana and other illegal substances in South Korea — a country in which there are strict laws prohibiting the consumption of drugs, including cannabis, aside from the limited authorization of medical marijuana usage with a doctor's prescription to help treat certain diseases.
Questioning from law enforcement occurred after Sun-Kyun was suspected of using drugs during several occasions this year.
