Yoo Seong-ho, a forensic professor at Seoul National University Medical School, expressed his medical opinion on the "closing the airway," known as the direct cause of death of the late actor Ahn Sung-ki.

Recently, a video titled "Yoo Seung-ho's Demantalk" was posted on the YouTube channel, "Can cancer patients die of airway obstruction, can it be prevented?"

In the video, Professor Yoo said, "I saw a report that Ahn Sung-ki's disease, which first developed in 2019 and was cured, was lymphoma, one of the blood cancers."

He said, "Blood cancer is divided into leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. In the case of Ahn Sung-ki, his airway is known to be closed while eating."

According to Professor Yoo, airway obstruction is not common in cancer patients. Professor Yoo cited decreased consciousness and cachexia, a serious metabolic syndrome that occurs at the end of chronic diseases, as special conditions that can cause airway obstruction in cancer patients.

Professor Yoo said, "Airway obstruction is not common in cancer patients," but added, "It can occur under special conditions where the strength is weakened or the level of consciousness is lowered."

Finally, he listed the title of the movie starring the late Ahn Sung-ki and mourned, "The warm acting and artistic legacy left by the deceased are likely to stay with us for a long time."

Meanwhile, the late Ahn Sung-ki collapsed at around 4 p.m. on December 30 last year while eating at his home. Afterwards, he was taken to the emergency room of a hospital near his home undergoing CPR due to cardiac arrest, but he died six days after being hospitalized without recovering. At 6 a.m. on the 9th, the death of the deceased was strictly observed at the funeral hall of Seoul St. Mary's Hospital.
