At dawn, a policeman assists a man who got off the patrol car and sits in a chair.
This is Mr. Park, a homeless man in his 50s.
The policeman soon enters the convenience store, buys drinks and hot packs, and gives it to Park.
However, Mr. Park was found dead at around 8:40 am, three hours later.
However, looking at Mr. Park's deeds, Mr. Park could have escaped death several times.
Earlier, at around 3:50 in the morning, another convenience store clerk, about 800m away, found Park, who was trembling in the cold in front of the store, and asked 119 for help.
Park was transferred to a nearby hospital, but refused to receive treatment and came out of the hospital.
[Fire Officer: He doesn't have medical insurance.
He said it would cost about 300,000 won, but he said that I couldn't receive medical treatment and asked him to take him to Naedok-dong where he was acquainted.]
Eventually, the paramedics handed over Mr. Park to the police, and the police dropped him in front of the convenience store saying he wanted it. .
It is explained that he had no choice but to follow Park's opinion that he could not be forcibly protected by the district and did not want to go to the office of the ward office.
[Police official: I can go to the ward office, but will I go? This person won't go.
I asked where the house was, and he said that if you drop it off, you can go there.] Even though the
police and firefighters were faithful to their roles, they could not prevent the death of a homeless man wandering the streets in the cold.
