South Korean singer and actress Goo Hara has been found dead at her home in Seoul, police say.

Axar.az reports citing BBC.

The 28-year-old is best known as a former member of the K-Pop group Kara, which she joined in 2008.

Goo had also appeared on television and released music by herself.

Police say the cause of death is still under investigation. She appeared at a series of comeback performances last week after being hospitalised in May following an alleged suicide attempt.

The singer later apologised for causing "concerns and a commotion" among her fans over the incident. Reports said her manager had, at the time, found her unconscious.

Goo was found dead about 18:00 local time (09:00 GMT) on Sunday in her home, the Gangnam Police Department was quoted by Yonhap news agency as saying.

Her last post on Instagram, shared with her 1.5m followers on Saturday, was a photograph of herself in bed with the caption: "Good night".
