Lee Sun-kyun is 5th Korean star to die of suspected suicide; 12 have perished in tragedies in recent years

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 23:19:34 GMT

As South Korean police on Thursday defended their aggressive investigation of “Parasite” star Lee Sun-kyun for alleged drug use, the country’s entertainment industry was reeling from his death, in part because he is the latest popular performer to die under tragic circumstances in recent years.Prior to Lee’s death Wednesday, 11 other prominent South Korean actors, musicians and other performers — most in their 20s and 30s — have died in suspected suicides, accidents and other incidents, one of which was a homicide and others that have been labeled “mysterious,” according to a list compiled by the Daily Mail.It’s believed that the 48-year-old Lee died by suicide, as the film and TV actor reportedly despaired over the highly publicized nature of the police investigation, which had forced him to drop out of a major film project in October and was causing serious damage to his reputation.This image released by Neon shows Sun-kyun Lee...

Dan Campbell brings rolling Lions home to Texas, seeking end to Cowboys’ 15-game home winning streak

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 23:19:34 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The circumstances are quite a bit better for Detroit coach Dan Campbell since the previous time the Lions visited his home state.The Texas native has led the Lions to their first division title in 30 years, and the NFC North champs aren’t out of the running for the top seed in the NFC heading into Saturday night’s visit to the Dallas Cowboys.A season ago, the Lions lost to Dallas, where Campbell spent three of his 10 seasons an NFL tight end, to drop to 1-5 — and 4-18-1 since he took over as coach.Detroit is 19-7 since then, and headed to the playoffs for just the fourth time in 24 seasons. The Lions (11-4) share the best record in the NFC with San Francisco and Philadelphia.Campbell’s focus is more on the second seed than the top spot and the bye that goes with it.“We checked the box on one thing and now it’s to the next one and so at this point, now, we’re fighting for the two seed,” Campbell said. “If you’re able to get to the one, so be ...

Live updates | Israel expands offensive as Hamas warns only permanent ceasefire will free hostages

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 23:19:34 GMT

A Hamas official said Thursday that a “partial or temporary cessation of aggression” wouldn’t be enough to free the more than 100 hostages who Israel says remain in captivity in Gaza. The Israeli-Hamas war has already driven around 85% of Gaza’s 2.3 million people from their homes, leveling the northern part of the territory and heightening fears about a similar fate for the south as Israel’s air and ground offensive widens.Dozens were killed Thursday during Israel’s bombardment of cities, towns and refugee camps across Gaza. More than 20,000 Palestinians, two-thirds of them women and children, have been killed since the start of the war, according to the Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza, which doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants among the dead. Hamas has put up steep resistance despite Israel’s vow to dismantle the militant group.About 1,200 people were killed after Hamas raided southern Israel on Oct. 7, with around 240 people taken host...
