As a result of the autopsy of Mr. Lee, who first reported the allegation of payment of attorney fees by Democratic presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung to a civic group, the first findings came out that heart disease was presumed to be the cause of death.
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said that as a result of requesting the autopsy of Mr. Lee to the National Forensic Service, he received oral findings of aortic rupture and dissection.
The police said, "There was severe arteriosclerosis and there was also cardiac hypertrophy," and a detailed autopsy will be carried out.
Police also said that no unusual trauma was found during the autopsy.
As a result of checking the CCTV inside the motel, it was confirmed that there were no other occupants until Lee was found dead on the night of the 11th when he last entered the room on the 8th.
