Kim Soon-cheol died on February 24, 2004, while suffering from diabetes at his home in Servingo-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. He was 66.

The deceased, who was usually willing to donate organs, reportedly pledged to donate his organs and bodies after death in 1991. Accordingly, the body of the deceased was reportedly donated to Seoul National University Hospital.

A former TBC first-term public talent, he debuted in 1957 through the play "The Whale." Later, he joined the theater company Experimental Theater in 1965 and established himself as a representative actor of Experimental Theater along with Oh Hyun-kyung, Lee Soon-jae, and Lee Nak-hoon.

In addition, the deceased performed well in numerous works, including Korea's first investigative drama "Criminal Notebook," as well as dramas "Mr. Bear," "Moonlight Family," and "Tears of the Dragon."

Everyone went first. I'm the only one left now, he said. "I'm old, so I can't guarantee that it's life or death. The happiest thing is to die during the performance," he recalled, making him drown.
