Three Passengers Confirmed in Joyuna Family Vehicle... No Signs of Life Detected

An Audi A6, which the family of 10-year-old Joyuna, who fell into the sea off Wando, Jeonnam, was riding, is being salvaged.

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] All three passengers were found in the family car of Jo Yuna (10), which was salvaged from the sea. It is reported that there were no signs of life.

According to Gwangju Police Agency and Wando Maritime Police Station on the 29th, the salvage operation of Jo's family's Audi A6 was completed around 12:20 PM that day.

The police installed a screen around the vehicle lifted above the water surface and opened the doors to confirm that three passengers were inside.

Whether these three are members of Jo's family will be identified by comparing fingerprints and personal belongings. Afterwards, an autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death.

The vehicle will be sent to the National Forensic Service to check for malfunctions or accident causes.

The passenger car was found overturned underwater about 80 meters from the breakwater the previous afternoon.

Jo's family had applied to the school for an off-campus experiential learning trip to Jeju Island from the 19th of last month to the 15th of this month for a family vacation.

However, instead of the intended destination, they stayed at a pension in Sinji-myeon, Wando, Jeollanam-do from the 24th to the 30th of last month, and all family members' phones were turned off at dawn on the 31st, cutting off contact.

The school reported to the police on the 22nd after Jo did not attend school even after the experiential learning period ended on the 16th.

It is reported that Jo's family was struggling with financial difficulties.

Jo's parents, in their mid-30s, are known to have accumulated debt without steady income after closing a computer-related business in the first half of last year.
