[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] The Paju Police Station announced on the 14th that they plan to perform an autopsy on the body of A (58), an executive-level employee of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) Business Headquarters, on the 15th.


A was found dead on the morning of the 13th at 10:05 AM inside a container installed on his own land in Sambang-ri, Beopwon-eup, Paju.


It is known that A went to work as usual the day before his death but did not return to his home in Seoul. Before his death, A contacted his family and sent a text message on his mobile phone saying, "Sorry for going ahead."


The police estimate that A took his own life based on the absence of signs of intrusion by others into the container and the message implying an extreme choice. The motive behind A's extreme decision has not yet been identified.


A was not included among the LH employees under investigation for speculation allegations announced by the government on the 11th. The land A owned is a blind spot surrounded by mountains. Since 2019, A had built a small farm shed there and used it as a weekend farm.



The police plan to close the investigation into A's death if no signs of homicide are found during the autopsy.
