The late comedian, broadcaster, and entrepreneur Seo Se-won passed away at the age of 67 at a hospital in Cambodia, which is now reported to be closed.

On the 25th, Star News reported that MiRae Polyclinic in Cambodia closed its doors following Seo Se-won's death.

The outlet quoted a close associate of Seo Se-won saying, "The hospital is completely shut down," adding, "The building owner ordered all hospital signs to be taken down. There is no one at the hospital now." The media also reported that Seo has been laid to rest at a nearby temple for six days.

In response, Seo Se-won's close associate expressed frustration, saying, "First, the hospital needs to make an official statement. We are not asking for any compensation. A person has died, so shouldn't it be clarified how he passed away?"

They continued, "The hospital staff have been evasive about the cause of death," pointing out, "The hospital director is in Korea, and the operations director says they don't know much. We hope the exact cause of death will be revealed."

Earlier, on the 20th, entertainment media Dispatch reported that a nurse at the hospital mentioned "propofol" during a phone call, at which point a Korean administrator intercepted the call, saying, "There is no propofol here. We do not handle such things," and then refused to take the call further.

It was also reported that the MiRae Hospital where the deceased passed away was an unlicensed facility without hospital permits or medical licenses, was empty inside, and that expired IV fluids and opened vials of propofol were found.

Meanwhile, the deceased experienced cardiac arrest while receiving an IV drip at MiRae Hospital at 11:30 a.m. (Korean time) on the 20th. Medical staff at a nearby general hospital attempted emergency treatment, but he passed away at 3 p.m. It is known that he had been suffering from diabetes as a chronic illness.
