[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Four members of a family were found dead in Anyang City, Gyeonggi Province, prompting the police to launch an investigation.

According to the Anyang Manan Police Station on the 17th, at around 10:50 p.m. on the 16th, a man in his 60s, Mr. A, his wife, and their two children in their 20s to 30s were found dead in a house in Anyang City.

The police and fire authorities responded to a report from another family member who said they could not contact Mr. A's family, and upon arriving at the scene, discovered the deceased family members.

Based on the degree of decomposition of the bodies, the police estimate that Mr. A's family had been dead for several days.

Additionally, since there were no signs of forced entry and a note believed to have been left by Mr. A and others was found, it is believed that they took their own lives.

The police plan to request an autopsy from the National Forensic Service to determine the exact cause of death of Mr. A and the others.
