Seo Hee-won raises suspicions about local medical staff for sepsis, not pneumonia, which is the cause of death



It has been argued that the cause of death of Gu Jun-yeop, a former clone of the group, and Taiwanese actor Seo Hee-won is sepsis, not pneumonia.

According to Taiwanese media 'Eiping News' on the 3rd, an official in Tokyo claimed that the cause of Seo Hee-won's death was sepsis, not pneumonia.

According to reports, Seo Hee-won developed severe cough symptoms one to two days after arriving in Tokyo, Japan, and developed into pneumonia. Since then, his condition has deteriorated dramatically, and he was rushed to the hospital for treatment, but he died before receiving ECMO (extravaginal membrane oxygen supply).




The media reported that medical staff finally recorded 'sepsis' as the cause of death.

Taiwan cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Du Cheng-jeo told the media that "Pneumonia can lead to sepsis."It is very likely to cause septic shock caused by sepsis in situations where blood oxygen levels are low or blood pressure drops sharply..."

In addition, sepsis and pneumonia may occur alone or together"It's no surprise that pneumonia is accompanied by sepsis."




Seo Hee-won's family is currently undergoing funeral procedures in Japan and will move the remains to Taiwan after cremation. The family will have a farewell ceremony in Taiwan.

At the sudden farewell to his wife, Koo Joon-yeop spoke to a media outlet on the phone, saying "It's not okay, it's not fake news." He is said to have kept his wife's death in tears.

Seo Hee-won's best friend Jia Yong-ji delivered the story of the last moment of the deceased and Koo Jun-yeop, who shared it.




On the 3rd, Jia Yongji heard the news on her account " (Seo Hee-won's death) and immediately ran on the Shinkansen. You seemed to be at peace and asleep beautifully. It was heartbreaking, but I had no choice but to let go. No matter how much I cried, I couldn't wake you up as you fell asleep."

In the end, his brother (Koo Jun-yeop) kissed deeply and said goodbye forever. Our hearts were torn by his brother's crying. He also left a story about Koo Jun-yeop. Then " (Koo Jun-yeop) sent me a selfie with Seo Hee-won, and I couldn't hold back my tears when I saw the picture. After the Lunar New Year, he came to my house to eat, but why did he go?" Seo Hee-won suddenly left, making it difficult for his family and friends to accept it. I hope everyone will give them more space and time, and give them love and consideration," he added.

Meanwhile, Seo Hee-won married Chinese businessman Wang So-bi in 2011 and had one son and one daughter, but divorced in 2021. Later, he announced his remarriage with Koo Joon-yeop in 2022, making headlines. The two first met in 1998 and dated for about a year before breaking up, and then reunited after 23 years, drawing attention for their movie-like love story. However, it has been a tragedy in three years, causing regret.
