South Korean actor Lee Sun-kyun, best known for his role in the Oscar-winning film Parasite, has been found dead, authorities have confirmed to the BBC.
The actor, 48, was found unconscious in a car in one of Seoul’s main parks on Wednesday.
It is unclear if Lee took his own life, but police said they received a report that he had left home after writing a note.
He had been under investigation for alleged drug use since October.
In Parasite, Lee played the patriarch of the wealthy Park family which is infiltrated by members of a poor family posing as unrelated individuals. The vicious social satire won four Oscars, including best picture.
