Parasite actor Lee Sun-kyun has died at 48.
Lee Sun-kyun, the South Korean actor whose performance as member of the privileged elite in Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite won him a Screen Actors Guild Award, has died by suicide at the age of 48. Per the Associated Press, Lee was found dead in his car by Seoul police on Wednesday morning after the authorities had been alerted about his disappearance.
Aside from a report from an anonymous police officer about Lee leaving a suicide note, few details about his death have been provided to the public. But news of Lee’s passing comes after weeks of South Korean police bringing him in for questioning under suspicion of his violating the country’s strict recreational drug use laws.
