Roh Moo-hyun dead

by Andy Jackson on May 23, 2009

UPDATE: TV reports now say that he fell off of a cliff. Nobody knows if is was an accident or suicide.

(BTW, I’m taking care of my son right now so this blog’s dear leader can feel free to take over this post or replace it with his own.)

ORIGINAL POST: The news is just coming out. Yonhap only has the headline right now 0950), but more will soon be added to the link.

A report on TV said he might have died of poisoning but nobody knows right now.

More to follow later.

UPDATE: I’m closing this thread, so please use post above. — Robert Koehler

My wife has just informed me of this rumor, so I’m checking here first. Does anybody know anything more?

Naver News reports he threw himself off a mountain near his home early this a.m.

This is sad to hear. My wife’s now watching the news on television. I guess that he couldn’t endure the loss of face — from Mr. Incorruptible to just another polititician. Still, it’s tragic.

I bet it’s a suicide. The timing and situation is too close.
