On the 15th, when President Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested on charges of rebellion, a man in his 50s died after setting himself on fire near the Gwacheon Government Complex in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do, where the High-ranking Civil Servant Crime Investigation Agency is located.
According to the investigation authorities on the 20th, A, who was seriously injured in a self-immolation accident, died while being treated at a burns hospital in Seoul.
Earlier, A tried to set himself on fire using combustible materials in the green area near the Gwacheon Government Complex, where the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is located, at around 8:05 p.m. on the 15th.
Mr. A is also on the list of suspected arsonists in connection with a fire that broke out in a vacant lot next to the Democratic Party's central headquarters in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, at around 0:11 on the same day. Later, at around 6 a.m., he was stopped by the police while attempting to set himself on fire near the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
According to the police, A stated to the effect that "Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, was angry about trying to arrest the incumbent president without arresting him."
A died on the sixth day after attempting to set himself on fire using combustible substances in the late afternoon of the day President Yoon was arrested. There were no clues to determine the motive for self-immolation, such as a suicide note.
A suffered third-degree burns all over his body and has been treated unconscious all the time.
As a result of the police's investigation, it was found that A attended a rally against President Yoon's impeachment after the "December 3 emergency martial law incident."
A police official said, "In the case of the arson case of the Democratic Party of Korea, even if the investigation confirms that A was responsible, it is expected to be terminated as 'no right to indict' depending on the death."
