People Power Party Rep. Jeong Jeomsik's Wife Passes Away at Tongyeong Home

The spouse of Jeong Jeom-sik, a member of the National Assembly representing Tongyeong·Goseong in Gyeongnam for the People Power Party, passed away on the 15th.

According to the police, Ms. A was found dead around 10:30 a.m. that day in an apartment in Gwangdo-myeon, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongnam.

The apartment is where Assemblyman Jeong and his spouse stay while conducting constituency activities.

Ms. A had come down to Tongyeong the day before to attend an event held in Goseong on behalf of Assemblyman Jeong.

Jeong’s aide contacted Ms. A to go to the event venue that morning, but when she did not answer the phone, the aide went to the lodging.

After knocking on the door with no response, they entered the house with the help of the police and fire authorities and found Ms. A collapsed in the utility room.

The police are investigating the exact cause of death, believing that Ms. A, who had entered the lodging alone around 10 p.m. after dinner the previous evening, died from the impact of hitting her head on the wall after falling inside the house.

There were no signs of intrusion by an outsider.

Assemblyman Jeong, the ruling party’s floor whip on the National Assembly’s Legislation and Judiciary Committee, heard the news while attending the Ministry of Justice ministerial confirmation hearing at the National Assembly and headed to Tongyeong.

The deceased’s funeral is being held in the VIP room of Tongyeong Seoul Hospital funeral hall.
