After losing his famous sister Choi Jin-sil to suicide in October 2008, actor/singer Cho Jin-young has taken his life. According to Chosun:
Actor and singer Choi Jin-young was found dead in an apparent suicide at his home in Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul on Monday afternoon. He was 39. His elder sister Choi Jin-sil, a famous actress, also killed herself in October 2008.
According to the Seoul Gangnam Police Station, police officers went to Choi’s home upon receiving a report at 2:14 p.m. and found him dead in the attic with an electric wire around his neck.
His body was found by his mother and a woman identified as Chung, who was his junior in college. When Choi did not answer the phone, Chung alerted Choi’s mother and the two hurried to his home together.
Choi was declared dead at Yonsei University’s Gangnam Severance Hospital around 2:46 p.m. “When he arrived, there was neither breathing activity nor heartbeat. We attempted CPR but there was no reaction,” the hospital said.
