South Korean police have issued a statement on Goo Hara’s death, ruling out foul play and confirming a note from the K-pop star was found at the scene.
Former Kara star Goo Hara was found dead on Sunday at the age of 28, just weeks after her close friend Sulli died in a suspected suicide.
Commissioner Lee Yong Pyo of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency confirmed that they are not investigating a crime in relation to Goo Hara’s passing.
The Commissioner said: ‘Yesterday (November 24), around 6 p.m., Goo Hara’s housekeeper discovered her. Based on an on-site inspection and testimony from her family, there are no suspicions of a crime.
‘Based on the analysis of CCTV footage, we have confirmed that she returned home on November 24 at approximately 12:35 a.m., so it is presumed that she passed away after that time.’

No other person visited Goo Hara’s home between that time and her housekeeper discovering her body at 6pm.
The Commissioner continued: ‘The housekeeper had maintained a close relationship with Goo Hara for a long time. She went to her home after she attempted to contact Goo Hara and received no response.’
He added: ‘There was a handwritten note found on a table in her living room. There is nothing we can reveal about the contents of the note.
Regarding the possibility of an autopsy being carried out, the Commissioner stated: ‘We will decide after consulting with the prosecution while considering her family’s opinion and the results of the on-site inspection. Nothing has been decided as of now.’
Goo Hara’s shocking death comes after he had allegedly attempted to take her own life after leaving a series of worrying messages on Instagram back in May.
The Mamma Mia singer had also shown distress after the death of former f(x) member Sulli last month, as Hara shared a tearful live video with fans explaining that she couldn’t attend Sulli’s funeral because she was in Japan.
Goo Hara rose to fame as a member of the K-pop girl group Kara, who debuted in 2007 under DSP media, releasing hit singles such as Cupid and Step, before disbanding in 2016.

She had recently signed with a Japanese production company and released a solo mini album, Midnight Queen, earlier this month.
Fans of the star can pay tribute at St Mary’s Funeral Hall in the Gangnam District until midnight on 27 November.
