An autopsy was conducted today (30th) of three family members who were found dead in Wando, Jeollanam-do.
The exact cause of death did not come out in the first examination, but it is expected that it will take about a month for the results of additional examinations to come out.

The police confirmed the identities of three members of the Cho Yang family and conducted an autopsy at the National Forensic Service this morning.
The autopsy doctor in charge delivered a verbal opinion to the police saying, "The cause of death is not clear, but the possibility of drowning cannot be ruled out."
No signs of killing were found.
Plankton tests in the body to determine whether the three died before or after drowning, and drug and poison tests to check whether they were taking sleeping pills, etc. were also conducted. I'm watching.
The National Investigation Headquarters will also conduct forensic analysis of the vehicle's black box memory card and the two cell phones that are believed to be the mother and father.
[Police in charge: The father's (presumed cell phone) was searched once more in the morning, but it has not been found yet.] The
police said that due to the portal site search history and the fact that there was a lot of debt, Jo's parents were unable to find their daughter. We are placing weight on the possibility of making an extreme choice.
There is also an estimate that it may not have rushed into the sea because the vehicle transmission was 'parked' at the time of the salvage.
It is possible that the car was parked on the lower breakwater and submerged at high tide.
The police are investigating the circumstances of the incident by combining the fact that Cho Yang's father searched for scale in Wando and the driver's seat was reclined.
