On April 12, Park Boram's agency, Xenadu Entertainment, and the police stated that a 119 call was received at 10 p.m. on the previous night, stating that "Park Boram went to the bathroom during a meeting and didn't come out, and when he did, he collapsed." Paramedics then rescued Park Boram and took him to the hospital, but he was pronounced dead at 11 p.m.

In response, the agency stated, "All of our fellow artists and employees are deeply mourning the deceased with great sadness." "The funeral process will be organized after consulting with the bereaved family. Once again, we send our deepest condolences to the deceased on his final journey," which brought people to tears. 

Born in 1994, Park, who was 30 years old, was found collapsed in the bathroom of an acquaintance's home in Namyangju City at around 9:55 p.m. on April 11, 2024.

The deceased was reportedly drinking with acquaintances before his death and went to the restroom alone, and when he didn't come out of the bathroom, an acquaintance who went to check on him found him lying on the ground and called the police.
