South Korean actor Lee Sun-Kyun, famous for his role in "Parasite", the film that triumphed at the 2020 Oscars, was found dead in a car in Seoul. The 48-year-old, who according to initial information would have committed suicide, was under investigation because he was suspected of using cannabis and other psychotropic drugs, and his career had suffered as a result.
His family had alerted the police after finding a message in which the actor announced that he wanted to take his own life.
In South Korea the law is very strict regarding drug use.
