Last night (4th) night, two people died in an apartment in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. A day before Children’s Day, a grandson who came to visit his grandparents and his grandfather suffered a catastrophe.
Reporter Hyung-woo Hyung-woo compiled the news of the incident overnight.
At around 9:20 last night, a fire broke out on the 8th floor of an apartment in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.
A large flame was put out within 20 minutes of reporting, and the fire was completely extinguished an hour later.
Two people were found lying inside the house, a 79-year-old grandfather named A and an 8-year-old grandson named B.

Both were found to be in cardiac arrest, and rescue teams performed CPR and then transported them to the hospital, but eventually died.
It seems that the day before Children’s Day, the grandson came to play at the house where the grandfather and grandmother lived, and an accident occurred.
