The Sanghwa-ro overpass construction is a project to build an underground road section from Yucheon-dong to Sangin-dong in Dalseo-gu. The workers at the site reportedly finished their work on the afternoon of the 24th, set up a barrier about 1 meter high, and then left for the day.


The police are investigating the circumstances, analyzing closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage, and believe that Mr. A entered the construction site by climbing over the barrier during the night and then fell.


The police stated, “We are investigating whether Mr. A fell while passing by or if it was a case of suicide. Currently, there is no suspicion of homicide, and we are examining the fall from multiple angles.”
