As news of actor Song Young-kyu's (54) death has been reported, the police are conducting an investigation related to the case.
The late Song Young-kyu was found in a state of cardiac arrest inside a parked vehicle on the roadside in Cheoin-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, on the morning of the 4th.
In this regard, the Yongin Dongbu Police Station stated to Maeil Business Star Today, "No evidence of homicide has been found, but we cannot determine the cause of death, so we are conducting an investigation to clarify the exact cause."
The late Song Young-kyu was previously charged with driving under the influence on June 19, having driven approximately 5 km from Giheung-gu to Cheoin-gu in Yongin while intoxicated.
At that time, Song Young-kyu's blood alcohol concentration was at a level that would result in license cancellation (0.08% or higher).
As a result, he stepped down from the play "Shakespeare in Love," and the production teams of SBS's "Try" and ENA's "I Shopping" announced plans to edit his appearances.
The mortuary for the late Song Young-kyu has been set up in Room 1 of the special funeral hall at Davos Hospital in Yongin, with the funeral scheduled for 8 AM on the 6th, and the burial site at Hambeoksan Memorial Park.
Meanwhile, Song Young-kyu, who debuted in 1994 with the children's musical "Mertel Dosa," is well-known to the public as Chief Choi in the movie "Extreme Job," and has appeared in Netflix series "Suriname" and Disney+ series "Casino."
