Korean Man Charged With Manslaughter After Helping Grandmother Open a Door

A 33-year-old man who opened a door for a grandmother trying to enter a bakery in Seogwipo on Jeju Island, South Korea has been arrested on charges of manslaughter, police said.

The man came to the bakery at 1:50 p.m. on May 16 when he encountered the 76-year-old woman struggling to open the entrance door, Daum reported.

The grandmother, who was holding a cane, was still holding onto the door handles when she lost her balance and fell.

She reportedly sustained a severe head injury and was rushed to a local hospital where she later passed away.

“I tried to help the grandmother who could not open the door, but I am sorry that this is the case,” the man told the police officers who conducted an investigation.

The man was charged with negligent manslaughter.
