According to local news reports, Park was recently facing allegations of sexual harassment.
A former secretary of Park filed a complaint against Park on Wednesday with the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency for alleged sexual assaults.
She alleged that Park had made physical contact several times since she began to work with him in 2017. She submitted messages that she had exchanged with Park via the Telegram service to police as evidence.
According to her testimony, there have also been other victims sexually assaulted by the mayor.
Police had planned to call in Park and Seoul government officials for investigations into the case.
Park, elected mayor of the South Korea capital in 2011, was in his third and final term.
A member of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea, Park was regarded as a potential presidential candidate for the 2022 election.
Not even giving them a chance to embroil him in scandal and call for his resignation, he went missing just before the scandal broke on national outlets, and was found dead of suicide less than 24 hours later
