Beside Mr. A, there was also his 4-year-old son lying unconscious.
[Firefighting official: (Son) is slightly unresponsive and his breathing is weak. The child was administered oxygen.]
The child was in a weakened state due to not being able to eat for a long time, but he was treated at the hospital and is said to have regained consciousness.
A delinquent electricity bill was also found at the entrance to the villa where her mother and son lived, so it is presumed that she had suffered hardships for a considerable period of time.
A police official said that it is difficult to estimate the specific time안전놀이터 of death because the woman’s body was significantly decomposed, and that they plan to reveal the exact cause of death through an autopsy.
