Yesterday (5th) around 3:20 pm, at a residential facility for the disabled in Hwasun, an 18-year-old group A with severe intellectual disability was found unconscious and collapsed.
The facility staff found him and took him to the hospital, but he eventually died.
The bereaved families who visited the facility on the 4th of last month were at a loss for words when they saw their healthy son turned into a cold corpse within a month.
Bruises and wounds were found all over the body of the deceased, and the bereaved family raised suspicions that it had nothing to do with the death.
[A family's family: I think there must have been an assault. If the child is tied up and there is a bruise on the same spot on the sole of the foot.] The
disability residence said that there must have been bruises and wounds in the course of self-harm or daily life, and there was no physical assault or abuse at all.
Police are focusing their investigations on the cause of the bruises and wounds found on the body and whether it was caused by external forces.
[Police official: There are things that are difficult to see as simply traces of self-harm, so we will open them from various angles and check them.] The
police will request an autopsy from the National Institute of Forensic Sciences and will investigate the disabled and facility officials who lived with Army A. .
