[Asia Economy Kim Bong-ju, Intern Reporter] A man in his 30s was found dead after falling into a 1-meter deep manhole in Daegu.

According to Dalseo Police Station and the Fire Department on the 23rd, at around 4:20 a.m., a passerby discovered Mr. Lee (35) who had fallen into a manhole on the roadside near Bonlinegeori in Bon-dong, Dalseo-gu, and reported it to the police.

At the time, the square-shaped manhole cover was open, and Mr. Lee was lying inside the manhole.

The police analyzed nearby closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage and stated that there is currently no suspicion of a crime.

However, the manhole cover was found not to have been open from the beginning.

The police believe that Mr. Lee opened the manhole cover to retrieve his belongings that had fallen inside and accidentally fell in.
