A girl and a man have been found dead on Jeju Island, police said Sunday.
According to the Jeju Coast Guard, police found the body of a man, 56, later identified as a Seoul resident whose surname is Jeon, floating in the water near the Port of Jeju around 12:55 p.m.
On the same day, police found the body of an unidentified girl thought to be under five years old at a beach on northern Jeju around 6:36 p.m.
Police are investigating Jeon's family and friends to find out what brought him to the island.
The girl's height is about 93cm. So far, police have not found any clues that would help them identify her. Police said there have not been any missing reports on Jeju recently.
Police will perform autopsies on the bodies Tuesday to find the causes of their deaths.
