Police investigating the mysterious deaths of a 10-year-old girl and her parents found in a car sunk in waters off the southwestern coast said Thursday they have failed to determine the exact cause of their deaths after an autopsy.

The National Forensic Service performed forensic autopsies on the remains of Cho Yu-na, a Gwangju elementary school student, and her parents in their 30s but said the cause of their deaths cannot be determined, according to the Gwangju Nambu Police Station.

Those who knew Cho's family previously said, following the news of the family's disappearance, that Cho's father had reportedly been suffering hardships after closing down his computer-related business in July 2021. The family's credit card debt was over 100 million won ($80,000), according to police.
