Hi - I am still local, and I hadn’t seen anything about this disappearance. I was an EdCC student until about 18 months ago - I wonder how they’re publicizing this on campus. I may drop by the admin hall over there and see what I can see.

I see they have a post on the website with a message from the college president: Edmonds Community College: Emergency Communications

And a Facebook post from the college with the same information: Edmonds Community College

His Facebook has a photo of him on the bus on February 4. Here's the link to his page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100005725934146

This article says he was last seen at his apartment, by his roommate. https://www.heraldnet.com/news/police-looking-for-missing-edcc-international-student/

According to his Facebook page, he recently received an iPhone and had his other phone, a Galaxy Note 2, up for sale.

Per college email, the police found him deceased. That’s all it says. More as I get it.

Oh no!

I can confirm this. I just had a friend who attends the college forward me the email. According to the email, the King County Medical Examiner is involved, which is curious because the college and the city where Juheon lived was not in King County. I hope they will give more details in the media later. Very sad.

Aww thanks for this news, Schwa. Did you know him? TYSM for keeping us updated.
And, a warm welcome to WS!!

 

[CluelessWonder]

I'm so very sad to hear about this tragic ending of a young man's life.

 

[sasha17]

I emailed two local MSM news sources who had published articles when Juheon was initially missing and asked if they had any further information beyond the email that the college sent to students. One replied and said they are "looking into it".
