[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] During the Chuseok holiday period, various fatal accidents occurred consecutively in Gwangju and Jeonnam.
According to the police and fire authorities on the 23rd, on the first day of the holiday, the 18th, three family members were found dead in a house in Jangseong, Jeonnam.
A (55) was found in the warehouse, A's mother (74) in the master bedroom of the house, and A's wife (51) in the back seat of a nearby parked vehicle.
The police are considering it an extreme choice due to family discord based on A's handwritten will, and plan to clarify the exact cause of death through an autopsy and other investigations.
On the 19th, in a mountain in Haeryong-myeon, Suncheon-si, Jeonnam, B (40), who had gone missing after expressing economic difficulties due to business failure, was found dead after three months.
B, who had suffered financial hardship due to failure in the agricultural supplies delivery business, reportedly left a message to his family in June saying he wanted to leave and has been out of contact since.
The police received a report that a vehicle had been parked in the mountain area for about half a month and have been searching the area. Currently, there is no suspicion of homicide, and they plan to investigate the exact identity and cause of death through DNA testing and other methods.
