Lee Sun-kyun\u2019s funeral went ahead without an autopsy being performed on the tragic \u2018Parasite\u2019 actor\u2019s body<\/p>\n
\nThe 48-year-old star was found unconscious in a car in a central Seoul park on Wednesday (27.12.23), with the country\u2019s Yonhap news agency reporting his remains were found after his wife Jeon Hye-jin alerted police to what appeared to be a suicide note she had found from her husband as he was facing a drugs probe by authorities. <\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s been reported he may have died from carbon monoxide poisoning \u2013 with officials also saying no autopsy was performed on him. <\/p>\n
\nThey said the examination was not carried out as per Lee\u2019s family\u2019s wishes. <\/p>\n
\nLee\u2019s wife was seen weeping at his funeral on Friday (29.12.23), with Jeon sobbing heavily as her late husband\u2019s farewell procession was led by their oldest son, who carried a portrait of his dad. <\/p>\n
\nLee\u2019s other son returned from his studies abroad to attend the ceremony. <\/p>\n
\nThe private funeral was held at the Seoul National University Hospital, and was attended by many of the actor\u2019s colleagues including Gong Hyo-jin, Ryu Seung-ryong and Lee Sung-min. <\/p>\n
\nJeon was later seen approaching her sons and hugging before the body of the late dad and husband was taken to a crematorium. <\/p>\n
\nPolice reportedly believe Sun-kyun took his life. <\/p>\n
\nLee reportedly begged police not to announce his last appearance for questioning over an alleged blackmail plot days before his apparent suicide. <\/p>\n
\nHis death came as cops were quizzing him over allegations of illegal drug use, accused of using marijuana and other substances at the home of a hostess from a local bar \u2013 though Lee insisted she had tricked him into taking the drugs and he had no idea what he was taking, and insisted she had tried to blackmail him. <\/p>\n
\nThe Daily Mail reported Lee\u2019s lawyer asked police to close the latest questioning round over the incident on Saturday (23.12.23) to the media, but police rejected the request.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
