A family of five has been found dead in three different locations in and around Seoul, with police investigating connections into their deaths, officials said Saturday.
Police received a report at 7:29 a.m. of a 40-year-old woman having jumped off an apartment building in Songpa in eastern Seoul, officials said.
She was sent to a hospital in cardiac arrest, but later pronounced dead.
While officers were checking the woman's whereabouts in the lead-up to her death, they discovered her husband, mother- and sister-in-law dead in a residence in the same district.
Police then found the couple's teenage daughter dead at a hotel in Gimpo, just west of Seoul.
Officers said a note was found at one of the scenes that indicated a conflict over money.
They said four of them, excluding the daughter, are believed to have taken their own lives, so an autopsy will be carried out on her to figure out the exact cause of death.
Police said they were looking into the circumstances that apparently led to the deaths.(Yonhap)
