AceShowbiz - Park Boram's family and friends have bid their final farewell to the K-Pop singer. Fellow singers Heo Young Ji, Huh Gak and Roy Kim were seen among mourners who sent her off at the funeral, which took place on Wednesday, April 17 (local time).
Heo Young Ji of Kara and Huh Gak, with whom Park Boram recently collaborated on a song titled "I Hope", were seen fighting back tears as her coffin was carried from the funeral house to a car. Roy Kim and Parc Jae Jung joined the pallbearers with Kang Seung Yoon of Winner also seen in attendance.
The funeral was held on Wednesday morning at Seoul Asan Hospital Funeral Hall in Pungnap-dong. Previously, a memorial ceremony for Park Boram was held on Monday, April 15 at the same place.
Park Boram was found collapsed and undergoing cardiac arrest at her friend's home in Seoul on April 11. She was at a private gathering with two other friends when she excused herself and went to the restroom at around 9:55 P.M.
When she did not return after some time, one of the individuals present went to check on her and found her slouched over the sink, unconscious. The friends immediately called 911 and attempted to perform CPR on her. She was transported to Hanyang University Guri Hospital, where she was pronounced deceased at 11:17 P.M.
The cause of death is not immediately given, but an autopsy has been performed and found no signs of foul play or suicide. Her agency Xanadu Entertainment said on Monday, "To clearly determine the cause of death of our artist, the late Park Boram, an autopsy was carried out this morning. It has been confirmed that there are no signs of homicide or suicide, and the detailed autopsy results will be conveyed to the family later."
They added, "We earnestly request that people refrain from spreading rumors and speculative reports so that the grieving family can properly send off their loved one." She will be laid to rest at Seoul Memorial Park.
Park Boram competed in Mnet's "SuperStar K2" in 2010 and finished in eighth place. In 2014, she made her debut with the release of her digital single "Beautiful" featuring Zico. Her last single "I Miss You Already" was released on April 3 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of her debut.
