Police to conduct autopsy on dead actress

Share |

SEOUL, Feb. 11 (Yonhap) -- South Korean police said Sunday that they have decided to conduct an autopsy on actress Jeong Da-bin who is suspected to have taken her own life.

The autopsy on the 27-year-old is being planned at the insistence of relatives who held a meeting earlier in the day.

"They wanted to know the exact cause of death", said a police officer, who declined to be identified. He stressed that the decision did not mean the police believed Jeong was murdered. He said a warrant is being sought to conduct the autopsy that is expected to take place on Tuesday.

In addition to the family, the talent agency that managed Jeong's professional affairs claimed the actress had no reason to take her own life.

The actress was found dead early Saturday at her boyfriend's home in Seoul. Officers on the scene said Jeong was found hanging in the bathroom around 7:50 a.m. The boyfriend, identified only by his surname Lee, said he took Jeong back to his house because she got drunk while hanging out with friends at a nearby bar.

The police said they suspected suicide because there was no outward sign of struggle and people around her had hinted that the actress had suffered from depression. Jeong had recently posted about her depressed mood on her personal blog.

The message she posted on Friday, titled "Finished", said, "I'm complicated and I feel like I'm going to die...I have lost my identity".
Jeong, known for her cheerful and positive image, became a South Korean pop culture star in Taiwan in 2005, and appeared in a number of hit television dramas and movies in her own country over the past few years.

If confirmed to have been a suicide, Jeong's death would be the latest case of a South Korean celebrity taking his or her own life. Female singer Yuni committed suicide on Jan. 21, while movie actress Lee Eun-joo killed herself in February 2005.
