Gimpo Man Found Decomposed in Apartment, Police Launch Investigation

Police were called after a family member reported a 60‑year‑old man’s body at an apartment in the Gurae‑dong area of Gimpo, South Korea. The discovery was made when staff at the building noticed a pile of undelivered packages and alerted the resident’s relatives, who entered the unit and found the decaying corpse. Investigators found no signs of forced entry and have ruled out obvious criminal activity, while the National Forensic Service has been asked to perform an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Authorities say the case remains open pending further forensic results.

The incident highlights concerns about isolated elderly residents living alone and the protocols followed by Korean police and forensic agencies when handling unexplained deaths.
