The news of singer Wheesung's death has been shocking day after day. In particular, the possibility of skipping the funeral due to an autopsy has been raised, with reports suggesting that this decision was made considering the family's health.
Previously, the agency TAJOYENT issued an official statement saying, "On March 10, our artist Wheesung left us. He was found in a state of cardiac arrest at his home in Seoul and was pronounced dead." He was 43 years old.
The sudden news of his death has plunged the entertainment industry into grief. In particular, fellow singers and colleagues who worked with him have been recalling memories with the deceased through their personal SNS, mourning his passing. The sight of the deceased showing a passionate commitment to music in life has left many in sorrow.
While the grief has not dissipated and the cause of death remains unclear, the Gwangjin Police Station in Seoul has announced plans to request an autopsy from the National Forensic Service to investigate the cause of Wheesung's death. According to confirmation from OSEN on the 11th, there have been suggestions that the funeral procedure for the deceased may also be skipped.
Some have raised voices suggesting that the delay might be due to the autopsy, but it has been stated that the postponement of the funeral is primarily because the family is in extreme shock. TAJOYENT also provided an additional statement saying, "We are unable to proceed with the funeral due to the immense shock and sadness of the bereaved family caused by this sudden news," adding, "The funeral will be held quietly with only family and close friends attending, as per the wishes of the family once they find their footing."
Meanwhile, Wheesung was found in a state of cardiac arrest at about 6:29 p.m. on the 10th in his apartment located in Gwangjin District, Seoul. The emergency services received a report from his family and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and other emergency measures, but he was pronounced dead in a state of cardiac arrest.
