An old woman and her son were found dead in an old house in Jongno-gu, Seoul.
According to the police today (22nd), the Hyehwa Police Station in Seoul received a report about the death of an elderly woman in her 80s and a son in her 50s in Changsin-dong, Jongno-gu, around 10:50 am on the 20th and was dispatched.
The first discovery of the dead hat was a water utility worker who was suspicious that the house was overcharged for water.
The employee felt strange that the water bill was charged as high as 900,000 won in January and February, so he went out to inspect the site and found the body.
When the employee visited the house, the gate was wide open, and it is said that the sound of water leaking from inside the house was heard.
According to one media report, the house where the hat was found is believed to have been built in the 1930s and has not been maintained to the extent that mold has grown throughout the house.
