KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 26 ― The South Korean rapper Iron died at age 28 yesterday.

The scandal-plagued singer whose real name is Chung Heon-chul was found dead at an apartment in Seoul according to police.

South Korean news outlets reported that he was found bleeding and lying on a grass patch by an apartment guard around 10.25am but was pronounced dead before being transported to hospital.

The Seoul Jungbu Police Station confirmed his death, K-entertainment news site Soompi said.

“We were called in by an (apartment) guard who told us they discovered Iron. He was taken to the hospital, but he passed away.

“At this point, it is unclear whether or not Iron died by suicide. We are investigating the exact cause of his death,” the police said.

Iron shot to fame after becoming a semi-finalist in the hip-hop audition programme Show Me the Money in 2014.

Last month, he was detained for allegedly assaulting his 18-year-old roommate with a baseball bat.
