Investigation Continues In Korean Rock Star Shin Hae Chul's Death Case

On May 6, early seven months since his untimely passing, a source from the late Shin Hae Chul's side commented on the ongoing investigation surrounding the singer's death.

"The case is still under investigation and we will not make any official statements," a representative for the family told reporters on Wednesday.

"His wife Yoon Won Hee is being investigated and she's complying with the investigation. There will not be any official statements from his agency," he added.

Yoon Won Hee was reportedly investigated for the first time by the prosecutor in the afternoon of May 6th.

The late Shin Hae Chul underwent stomach reduction surgery on October 17, 2014, and he complained of pain until he suffered a cardiac arrest on October 22. Despite receiving an emergency surgery at another hospital, he remained unconscious and passed away on October 27. The cause was brain damage due to lack of oxygen.

Yoon Won Hee sued the doctor who performed the stomach reduction surgery for malpractice. Concluding that Shin Hae Chul's death was caused by malpractice, the police forwarded the case to the prosecutor's office last March.
