[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The police will conduct an autopsy on Kim Moon-gi, head of Development Division 1 at Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, who was found dead on the 21st after being involved in the Daejang-dong development project in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, amid allegations of preferential treatment.

The Bundang Police Station in Gyeonggi announced on the 22nd that they plan to perform an autopsy on Kim’s body to determine the exact cause of death.

Kim was found collapsed and dead around 8:30 p.m. the previous day in the first-floor office of the Seongnam Urban Development Corporation building. The police checked Kim’s mobile phone and searched the office but reportedly did not find a suicide note.

No signs of criminal suspicion were found, but the police decided to proceed with the autopsy with the consent of the bereaved family to clearly establish the cause of death.

Kim was the person responsible for the practical work of the Daejang-dong development project until early this year and has been suspected as a key figure, along with former Planning Director Yoo Dong-gyu of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, in deleting the excess profit recovery clause from the Daejang-dong project agreement. After the allegations surfaced, Kim was investigated multiple times by prosecutors and police as a witness.
