A family of five has been found dead in at least three different locations in and around Seoul, and police are investigating connections into their deaths, police said Saturday.
Police received a report at 7:29 a.m. of a 40-year-old woman having jumped off an apartment building in Songpa in eastern Seoul, officials said.
She was sent to a hospital in cardiac arrest but later pronounced dead.
While police were checking the woman's whereabouts in the lead-up to her death, they discovered her husband, mother- and sister-in-law dead in a villa in the same district.
Police then found the couple's teenage daughter dead at a hotel in Gimpo, just west of Seoul.
Police said a note was found at one of the scenes that indicated a conflict over money.
Police said they were looking into the exact cause of their deaths and the circumstances that apparently led to the case.
