Hwasun-gun 'Application and Receipt for Military Death Accident Investigation'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Hwasun County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 25th that it is accepting applications for fact-finding investigations regarding military death incidents until September 13.

The county is promoting the fact-finding application through the county office website, bulletin boards, 13 electronic boards for parking enforcement, and encouraging applications through village chief meetings in towns and townships.

The Presidential Military Death Incident Fact-Finding Committee (Chairman Lee In-ram, hereinafter the Committee) was established in September 2018 under a special law.

The committee handles petitions from bereaved families and witnesses regarding unjust death incidents that occurred in the military to uncover the truth.

The committee deals with all types of military death incidents, including so-called “suspicious deaths” where the cause of death is unclear, as well as accidental deaths, deaths from illness, and self-inflicted deaths (suicides).

The activity period is three years from September 2018 to September next year according to the special law, and considering the investigation period (about one year), the acceptance of petitions ends on September 13.

Applications can be submitted by downloading the form from the committee’s website, filling it out, and sending it by mail or visiting the committee office (14th floor, Post Tower, 70 Sogong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul).

Email and fax applications are also possible, and those who have difficulty filling out the application can apply orally.

A county official said, “There are likely many bereaved families in the region who have lost their children in the military and live with lifelong sorrow,” and added, “We will actively cooperate with the committee’s fact-finding so that the bereaved families can restore their honor and receive appropriate treatment.”
