In continuation with the investigation into Shin Hae Chul's death, Songpa Police in Seoul analyzed the medical equipment used by Sky Hospital and revealed on November 6 that they were unable to find any evidence that the surgery was recorded onto a video.

A rep from the police stated, "With an expert from a server management company, we analyzed the server that was connected to the laproscopic surgery equipment, but we were unable to find proof that footage was recorded during Shin Hae Chul's surgery nor proof that such footage was erased afterwards."

The police had obtained eight pictures that they believed were allegedly shot during the time of the surgery, and these photos along with what the deceased's family members heard from various individuals, had prompted the police to look into whether there was a video that was taken of the surgery. 

A rep from the police commented, "There needs to be a variety of equipment installed to record a video during the surgery. From what we have investigated, the hospital does not even have such equipment installed [to record during surgery]."

A nurse who works at the hospital also told the police, "While working at this hospital for over 3 years, I have never seen anyone recording videos of surgeries."

The police have so far determined that the 8 photos they found are not from a video, but rather separate pictures that the hospital had taken to help explain the surgery process to the patient.

The police rep further added, "There is very little chance that the hospital has somehow hidden the existence of a video... It seems likely that the family members of the deceased had misheard or misunderstood the words of a hospital rep thinking that a video of the surgery existed."

The police so far investigated into two nurses who were in charge of watching over Shin Hae Chul at Sky Hospital and will investigate into one nurse who partook in the enteroplasty surgery and one nurse who was in charge of his sickbed.  Two people from the medical team at Asan Hospital who administered emergency care were also looked into.  Director Kang of Sky Hospital will be called in on November 8 or 9.

The police said, "In relation to accidental homicide from professional negligence, we plan to put emphasis on whether the director did a proper surgery in the end and to what extent he gave proper treatment to the patient during maintenance as we continue investigating. It seems that the autopsy results will be released by the National Forensic Service in about two weeks, and after we piece together the results of the investigation, we will request a doctors union to express their thoughts on whether Sky Hospital made a mistake."
