The funeral for Leeteuk's father and grandparents will take place on January 8 (later today in KST) and their bodies will be laid to rest at the burial grounds in Dangjin.

According to the police, Leeteuk's father and grandparents were discovered already passed away in their home on January 6.  The investigators had also discovered what appeared to be a suicide note.  Believing the cause of deaths to be obvious, they decided to forego an autopsy and transferred the bodies over to the family.

A police rep said, "Leeteuk's father devotedly supported his parents for 15 years when his parents began to get Alzheimer's a few years ago . . . The family stated that he had depression, but we have not confirmed yet if he took medication for his depression."
