A Chung-Ang University freshman, 19, was found dead on its Seoul campus on Thursday, six days after he was reported missing, police said on Friday.
His body was found “partially decomposed” in a flower bed near the College of Pharmacy at 3 p.m. Thursday, according to Dongjak Police Station.
The man was last seen at a dormitory on Aug. 15. His family reported him missing on Aug. 17. Police say he died after falling from the building. But they do not know if he jumped to his death.
An investigation is under way.
“The investigation is focusing on whether he was murdered or not,” police said.
