Police are looking into the death of a 19-year-old man who died after falling and hurting his head in Koreatown in late July. His family says that the fall happened when he was being attacked.
Based on the Los Angeles Police Department, the event happened on July 25. Joon Hee Han was taken to a Whittier hospital for treatment of a head injury he got when he fell.
“According to family members, the fall was the result of an attack that occurred at the end of July in the 700 block of South Harvard Boulevard,” an LAPD statement said.
Detectives haven’t checked out that claim yet, but they are working hard to get more evidence, witness accounts, and any other information they can get to help them figure out what killed Han.
“As more information becomes available and the sequence of events that led to Joon Hee Han’s death becomes clear, we will provide additional information,” the police said. “Until then, we must refrain from additional comments on this tragic occurrence until the facts are clear.”
Investigators from the LAPD asked anyone who might know more to call them at (213) 382-9470.
