A police officer was found dead in an apparent suicide at a police substation in western Seoul, police said Monday.
Police said the 31-year-old officer was bleeding from his head with a gun in his right hand in the fitting room when he was found by a fellow officer at around 2:45 p.m.
The 31-year-old officer was already dead when emergency crew members arrived.
After coming back from a morning patrol, the officer had told his colleague to have lunch and disappeared, according to the police.
While he is suspected to have committed suicide, police are investigating the details of the accident as none of his colleagues heard the gunshot. (Yonhap)
