[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] The police have decided not to conduct an autopsy on comedian Park Ji-seon (36), who was found dead alongside her mother, respecting the wishes of the bereaved family.

A representative from the Seoul Mapo Police Station stated, "There are no signs of external intrusion, and a note resembling a suicide letter was found, so there is no suspicion of a crime."

The note, discovered at the scene the previous day, reportedly mentioned matters related to the illness Park had been suffering from. It is known that the mother wrote the note expressing that Park had been struggling with her illness and that she could not bear to let her daughter be alone, intending to be with her. The note was about one page long, and its detailed contents have not been disclosed in accordance with the family's wishes.

Park and her mother were found dead at their home in Mapo-gu, Seoul, the previous afternoon. No external injuries were found on either of them. It is reported that Park's mother had come to Seoul and had been living with Park. Park was undergoing treatment for her chronic illness.
