The robot suicide sparked a Gumi city council investigation. It was able to operate an elevator by itself, and had its own city council officer card.

A South Korean robot’s “suicide” is being investigated by the Gumi City Council after the cyborg hurled itself down a two-meter, or six-and-a-half foot, flight of stairs on Wednesday.
The now-defunct robot was appointed a city council officer in August 2023 and was capable of calling an elevator and moving between floors on its own.
A city council official spotted the robot “circling in one spot as if something was there” before the incident occurred, according to French outlet Agence France-Presse. It was later found unresponsive and “smashed” to pieces.
