National 'Sorry I didn't give you a healthy body': baby with rare disease found dead with mother
A woman in her 30s and her six-month-old son were found dead at a home in Gwangju
with what appears to be a suicide note apologizing for the child having a rare medical condition
Their bodies were found inside a residential building in Sinhyeon-dong
The husband reported the incident to the police
The husband told police that he was woken by their daughter in the morning and found the two dead
In what appears to be a suicide note on her phone
the woman left a memo saying "I'm sorry (to the baby) for not giving (him) a healthy body."
It was reported that the child suffered from a congenital disease that causes the muscles to stiffen immediately after birth
Police are considering the possibility that the woman killed the baby and herself
and have requested an autopsy of the victims from the National Forensic Service
