On the 15th, the first day of the official campaign for the 20th presidential election, two people, including Ahn Cheol-soo, a campaigner for the People’s Party presidential candidate and a bus driver, were killed.
According to the Cheonan city and the police, at around 5:20 pm on the same day, a driver A and an officer B of the Chungnam electoral division of the People’s Party were found dead on a 45-seater bus parked on the road near Shinsegae Department Store in Sinsa-dong, Cheonan.
It is known that the bus was recently converted to support Ahn Cheol-soo’s campaign. It is presumed that he was poisoned with carbon monoxide while resting on the bus with the generator turned on as he continued the campaign in the cold weather that day.
“The exact cause of death can only be known following an autopsy,” said a police official who was investigating the case.
