Police believe Son Ho Young's girlfriend's death was suicide, will perform autopsy to confirm
The Gangnam Police Station said, "Currently, there doesn't appear to be any foul play in the death of Son Ho Young's girlfriend. However, since there is a lot of attention focused on this case, we are planning to perform an autopsy. We have convinced the family of the deceased to allow an autopsy to be conducted so we can clear up all doubts."
In the car, the police found a fire pot where she burned 3 coal briquettes, an empty bottle of sleeping pills, and 2 cartons ofsoju, as well as a notebook that seems to hint at suicide. The police reported, "In cases of murder, bruises usually form when the victim fights back. However, the body was completely clean. In the notebook that was found, it does not specify that it is a will, but it contains words that people who commit suicide usually write. The handwriting also matches the woman's."
The police don't have any plans at this time to summon Son Ho Young for further questioning, and have confirmed that they'll be requesting his presence only if it's deemed necessary.
