South Korea has a problem: thousands of people, many middle aged and isolated, are dying alone each year, often going undiscovered for days or weeks.
Although lonely deaths affect people across various demographics, the report showed middle aged and elderly men appear particularly at risk.
The number of men suffering lonely deaths was 5.3 times that of women in 2021, up from four times previously.
People in their 50s and 60s made up to 60% of lonely deaths last year, with a large number in their 40s and 70s as well. People in their 20s and 30s accounted for 6% to 8%.
