A nursing assistant was found dead at a private hospital in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, on April 2, after allegedly injecting himself with a large dose of propofol.
Police said Thursday that the 31-year-old was found at a consulting office at the hospital he worked for. He had a needle in his arm and 10 bottles of propofol were found near him, investigators said. They have requested an autopsy of his body, they added.
Propofol has been classified as a psychotropic drug in Korea since 2011 as an increasing number of people have become addicted to it. Experts say it causes hallucinations and may lead to death if taken in excessive doses.
