As reported by SBS on July 26, a female patient passed away at a big psychiatric hospital in Buncheon which is run by a popular psychiatrist. The CCTV footage from late night of May 27 released by the network shows a woman in distress calling to be let out due to distress in her abdomen. 

She was instead restrained and medicated. While the restraints were removed after an hour, she was left bleeding from the nose and gasping for breath. As reported by SBS, her abdomen was visibly swollen and yet her condition was dismissed. Attention was finally provided after she lost consciousness as caregivers gave CPR and massaged her limbs. The patient was said to have passed away due to pseudo-obstruction of the colon. 

The late woman's mother confessed that they specifically chose the hospital because the psychiatrist is popular and he talked about addiction programs a lot.

Soon after these reports aired, many Koreans put two and two together and speculated that the hospital was Yang Jae Woong's W Jin Hospital. Additionally, they also claimed that the blurred images of the hospital shown in the reports resembled Yang Jae Woong's. 

The police are currently investigating the matter.
