Turtleman (Im Sung Hoon) from Turtles died of heart attack



Turtles Member Dies of Heart Attack

3-member pop group Turtles' leader, "Turtle Man" (Lim Sung Hoon), has died due to a heart attack.

Lim's manager went to Lim's house at about 2:30 pm (Korea time) today, and found him without a pulse. Lim's manager said that they had an appearance scheduled, but that Lim wouldn't pick up his phone and his house was locked. "I got a locksmith to get the door open and I saw him laying on his bed; I assumed he was sleeping," said the manager. But when Lim wouldn't wake up, he realized that Lim wasn't breathing and called an ambulance. The hospital said that Lim had died about 5~6 hours before he was found.

Many singers in the industry came to his funeral including the two female members of Turtles, DJ DOC's Kim Chang Ryul, Hwang Bo, Go Young Wook, and many others. His mother showed much devastation due to his sudden death, as did everyone.

Other celebrities are attending his funeral such as Eru, Super Junior's Kang In and Eun Hyuk, Hong Kyung Min, Oh Jong Hyuk
