<Anchor> A
mother in her 50s and a daughter in their 20s were found in a studio in Changwon long after they died.
It is known that both mother and daughter suffered from mental illness and had been disconnected from their surroundings.

A studio in Changwon, Gyeongnam.
It was the last 5 days that the mother and daughter were found dead.
At the time of discovery, the mother and daughter were lying side by side in the middle of the room, and it is believed that they had died 20 days before the date of discovery.
[Neighboring residents: It was a little mentally.
We didn't know (hidden).
I didn't come and go with people, even if I live around...
.] It
has been confirmed that the daughter has been treated with borderline intelligence disorder, and the mother has been treated with schizophrenia since 2011.
My daughter, who was suffering from autism, has lived in the house so few of her neighbors have seen it.
The body is very corrupt, making it difficult to determine the cause of death even at an autopsy.
[Kim Young-gon / Masan Eastern Police Department Criminal Section Chief: First of all, the cause of death is unknown.
I need to investigate further, but I think the likelihood of murder or suicide is extremely low.] My
daughter, who had been in a welfare facility for 7 years, was found dead after two years after her mother with schizophrenia took her.
Police estimate the likelihood of several deaths, including hunger.
[Kim Young-gon / Masan Eastern Police Department Criminal Section Chief: First of all, the cause of death is unknown.
I need to investigate further, but I think the likelihood
of murder
or suicide is extremely low.]
The death of a mother and daughter who was found as a body late before the holiday leaves only a pity.
