According to a report by Soompi, Park’s family made the heart-wrenching decision to let her go once she was pronounced legally dead at the hospital. In a statement, Park’s mother shared they will be donating her organs:

Only her brain is unconscious, and her heart is still beating. There must be someone who desperately needs [organs]. As her mother and father, we will be able to live comforted [by the thought that her heart] has gone to someone and is beating.

Park Soo-Ryun isn’t the only Snowdrop actress to pass away unexpectedly. On January 5, 2022, South Korean actress Kim Mi-soo died due to unspecified causes that have yet to be discovered.
