Police were alerted after a family member reported a 60‑year‑old man’s body in an apartment building in Gimpo, South Korea. Building staff noticed undelivered packages, prompting relatives to enter the unit where they found the decomposing corpse. Investigators reported no signs of forced entry and ruled out obvious criminal activity. The National Forensic Service has been tasked with conducting an autopsy to determine the cause of death, and the case remains open pending the forensic results. The incident has sparked discussion about the vulnerability of isolated elderly residents and the procedures followed by Korean police and forensic agencies in unexplained death cases.
