I`ll take my parents with me."Seoul (ANTARA News/Yonhap-OANA) - Police said Tuesday they are investigating the deaths of the father and grandparents of Leeteuk, a member of the popular K-pop boy band Super Junior.
Their bodies were discovered in their apartment in Shindaebang-dong, southwestern Seoul, at about 9:20 a.m. Monday by a relative.
The 84-year-old grandfather and 79-year-old grandmother were lying in bed covered with a blanket and the father, aged 57, was found hanging from a wardrobe door in his room, police said. The three are presumed to have died at about 11 p.m. Sunday, police added.
Officers found a suicide note at the site believed to be written by the father surnamed Park.
The exact contents of the note are not known, but sources say it read, "Ill take my parents with me."
