Seoul mayor found dead, police official says
Probably a suicide.
I wonder if someone had dirt on him.
A South Korean police official said Thursday that the mayor of Seoul was found dead after his daughter reported him missing.The official asked not to be named, citing department rules.
The search for Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon was focused on the hilly Seongbuk neighborhood in the northern part of the South Korean capital, where his phone signal was last detected, said a spokeswoman for Seoul Seongbuk Police Department.
Park's daughter called police late Thursday and said her father could not be reached on the phone, South Korea's semiofficial Yonhap news agency reported, citing an anonymous police source. She told police that Park left a “will-like” message before leaving their family home earlier that day, according to Yonhap.
The Seoul metropolitan government said early Thursday that Park canceled his official schedule for the day without specifying a reason. Park was scheduled to meet a presidential official Thursday afternoon at his office in Seoul City Hall.
