Woman in Her 30s Reported Missing Found Dead in Container a Day Later

A woman in her 30s, whom police had been tracking following a missing person report by her family, was found dead alongside a man in his 40s inside a container in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province.

Police are investigating the case, believing that the two individuals, who had been reported missing from different regions, met online and attempted to take their own lives together.

The Anseong Police Station in Gyeonggi Province discovered Ms. A, in her 30s, and Mr. B, in her (his) 40s, inside a container in an empty lot in Bogeam-myeon, Anseong, at around 9:00 p.m. yesterday (the 3rd).

At the time of the discovery, Ms. A was already dead.

Mr. B was transported to a hospital intensive care unit for treatment and is reportedly not in life-threatening condition.

Police estimate that the two recently met through an online community and attempted to make an extreme choice.

Earlier, Ms. A's family filed a missing person report with the police at around 2:19 p.m. on the 2nd after failing to reach her since the night of the 31st of last month.

The police station jurisdiction overseeing Ms. A's residence tracked her mobile phone location and confirmed that she had traveled to Anseong.

Subsequently, at around 2:39 p.m. on the same day, they requested assistance from the Anseong Police Station.

Police deployed around 50 personnel centered around a 1.5-kilometer radius of the cell tower location.

After searching for more than a full day using rescue dogs and drones, they located the two individuals.

Upon verification, it was found that Mr. B had also been reported missing from another region at around 11:17 a.m. on the 31st of last month.

A police official stated, "It appears that the two individuals, who met via the internet, attempted to take their own lives in the Anseong area where they have no personal connections."

Police plan to conduct an autopsy on the body of the deceased Ms. A to determine the exact cause of death.

They also intend to investigate the specific details once Mr. B recovers.
