Just heard the sad news that Roh Moo Hyon the ex-president committed 
suicide. Engaged in a growing and complicated corruption schandal, he 
couldn't bear the burden anymore and this morning he decided to take 
his life. He jumped from a mountain while he was accompanied by a 
bodyguard. His wife fainted after hearing the news. He left a note to 
make a memorial near his hometown. Personally I believe that he might 
not have known that his wife took about one million dollar but he 
took the responsibility for it.
