[Asia Economy (Cheonan) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] A Cheonan city official who disappeared after borrowing money from acquaintances under the pretext of stock investment was found dead.

According to Cheonan City and the Cheonan Dongnam Police Station on the 11th, the city official A (female) was found dead in Gurye, Jeollanam-do, the previous afternoon.

A went missing after leaving home on the 4th, and her whereabouts were traced following a missing person report filed by her family.

Separately, the police received about 20 complaints against A from the 8th to the 10th. The core of the complaints is that she took money promising to invest in stocks but then cut off contact. The total amount of damages claimed by A’s acquaintances is estimated to be 1 billion won.

The victims reportedly believed that A had made considerable profits from stock investments and intended to invest through her.

Previously, A had submitted a leave of absence from mid-October last year until June next year. However, Cheonan City removed A from her position on the 7th after being notified by the police of the multiple complaints filed against her.

The police are investigating the exact cause of death, believing that A took her own life after being unable to repay the money borrowed from acquaintances.
