South Korean singer-actress Park Bo Ram passed away on 11 April at the age of 30.
The singer was at a friend’s house last night enjoying drinks with two friends.
At around 9:55pm, Park went to the restroom and did not return.
Concerned about her prolonged absence, one of her friends went to check on her and found the star slouched over the sink, unconscious.
The friends immediately called 119 and attempted to perform CPR on the singer.
Emergency responders arrived at the scene and quickly transported Park to Hanyang University Guri Hospital.
There, she was pronounced dead at 11:17pm.
The police have requested an autopsy with the National Forensic Service to further investigate the cause of death.
Park’s agency, XANADU Entertainment, has confirmed Park’s death.
The agency said in a statement that the singer died suddenly on 11 April and asked the public to refrain from speculating about what had happened as the cause of her death is still being investigated.
Before Park passed away, she had reportedly been working on a new album after releasing two new songs earlier this year.
This year would have marked her 10th year in the music industry after her official music debut in 2014.
The album Park was working on was to celebrate her 10th anniversary.
