According to the North Jeolla Provincial Police Agency, on the 11th, former professional volleyball player “A” was found dead at a lodging facility in Deokjin-gu, Jeonju City, around 1:04 p.m. on the 8th.

After receiving a report from her family that they could not reach her after she left home, the police launched an investigation and found A collapsed in the motel.

The police said, “We found a large amount of briquettes around A,” and “No suicide note was found,” implying that she may have taken her own life.

A is said to have visited Jeonju on the day of the incident to spend time with her family.
