She was found dead at her apartment on October 14, 2019. Police said that there were no signs of foul play nor forced entry.

Handwritten notes were also discovered in her place that expressed her true feelings, but they weren't a suicide note nor a farewell diary entry according to the authorities.

During her active years as an idol, Sulli had been a victim of online bullying and harassment, which is allegedly the main reason why the young singer-actress took her life.
