(Ulsan = Yonhap News) Reporter Heo Gwang-moo = The death of a 5-year-old child who was alone at home in a fire in a studio apartment in Ulsan was found to have occurred while his father, the only guardian, was away to clean the house he was about to move into. It’s making me feel sad.

According to the Ulsan Southern Police Station on the 31st, a fire broke out on the second floor of a one-room building in Nam-gu, Ulsan, at around 5:05 p.m. on the 30th.

The fire was extinguished in about 25 minutes, and a 5-year-old boy was found dead while looking inside the charred and partially collapsed studio apartment to search for people.

The child was trapped in the kitchen under debris from buildings and household items.

As a result of the police investigation, it was confirmed that the child was a child of a single-parent family living with his father.

At the time, the child’s father was found to have left the child at home and left the house for a while to clean the house ahead of the move.

After returning home, the father was said to have been so shocked and saddened by the news that his child had died that he was unable to make a statement for a while, which saddened those around him.

As a result of the fire that day, a woman in her 60s living on the third floor was also transported to the hospital with injuries to her back and legs during the evacuation process.

Property damage was estimated at 44.6 million won.

Police and fire authorities initially estimated that the fire started around the microwave near the entrance to the studio.

However, we plan to conduct a joint investigation with the National Institute of Forensic Science to determine the exact cause of the fire.
