It was later revealed that a 40-year-old inmate at Gongju Prison in Chungcheongnam-do had died with bruises on his body.
Yesterday (27th), according to the correctional authorities, 42-year-old A, who was imprisoned at Gongju Prison on the night of the 21st, collapsed while complaining of difficulty breathing.
A was taken to a nearby hospital, but eventually died.
It is known that there were bruises and wounds all over the body of Mr. A.
The prison is said to have received the findings of the first autopsy, stating that "there were signs of assault, such as fractures."
The correctional authorities are investigating three inmates who were in the same prison room to determine whether A was assaulted or not.
We are also checking the exact circumstances against the guards.
The final autopsy results for Mr. A will be released in three weeks.
This is a 'news pick'.
