Park died on 2 November 2020, aged 35. Park's father called the police as he could not get in touch with her or her mother, as they were not answering their phones.[9] Park and her mother were found deceased in Park's Seoul home by police.[9][10] A one-page note presumed to be written by Park's mother was left behind.[10] At the family's request, the contents of the note were not publicly released and no autopsy was performed.[10] But according to Yonhap News Agency, the note said that Park's mother was not able to let her daughter suffer alone because of her illness.[11] The cause of death has not been disclosed, although police suspect it was a suicide as there was no evidence of foul play.[10]
