A man who left the motel room on the morning of the 8th.



This is the 54-year-old Lee Mo, who raised suspicions about the payment of attorneys' fees by Democratic presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung.

The police also disclosed that Mr. Lee had symptoms of coronary atherosclerosis and enlarged heart.



The motel CCTV also showed Mr. Lee staggering down the stairs the night before his last outing.



As a result of the CCTV analysis, the police said that after Lee last entered the room, he drew a line on the possibility of murder, saying that he will receive a final autopsy result that combines blood and tissue tests.



The family of Lee's family expressed their hope that they would pay attention to the allegations raised by the deceased.

The Democratic Party drew a line that the 'suspicion of paying attorneys' fees' is a 'manipulation' that has nothing to do with this candidate, saying that the people's power is making a coercive argument without mourning the sad death of an individual.
