Super Junior Leeteuk's father and grandparents found dead at home

THE year got off to a tragic start for the family of K-pop group Super Junior leader Leeteuk. His father and grandparents were apparently found dead at home in Seoul this morning.

In what was earlier reported to be a car accident that killed the three, their deaths were later linked to suicide.

According to the allkpop website, police and fire department officials indicated that a note was found at the house where the bodies were discovered. The note is said to have been written by Leeteuk’s father, Park Yong-in.

Allkpop today quoted one of the officials as saying: “At 9.26, we were dispatched to one apartment in the jurisdiction of Dongjak (a district in Seoul). When we arrived at the scene, all three had already passed away.”

The official revealed that the grandparents were found on the bed while Park was found hanged, says allkpop.

Their deaths are strongly believed to be linked to suicide.

Police are looking into medical records to confirm that Park was suffering from depression. Allkpop says Leeteuk’s father had been caring for his Alzheimer's-stricken parents, Park Hyun Suk and Chun Kyung Tae.

Leeteuk, 30, whose real name is Park Jeong-su, has been on mandatory military service since October 2012. The singer-songwriter-actor immediately took leave to return to the family upon receiving the devastating news.

He and his sister Park In Young, as well as other family members and friends, are now gathered at the wake at the Korea University Medical Center (Guro Hospital) funeral parlour.

Super Junior’s management agency, SM Entertainment, has appealed to the public to allow the family to grieve in peace.
