A man in his 60s has been found dead in a burned car near the Han River in the city of Gimpo, police said Monday.

Upon a fire report at 11:40 p.m. the previous day, policemen and firefighters extinguished the blaze in a car parked near a riverside road in Gimpo, west of Seoul, and found the man dead inside the vehicle.
