Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon found dead after going missing for 7 hours

Описание: 박원순 서울시장 서울대학교병원에 빈소 마련

Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon,... seen by many as a likely candidate for president, was found dead on a mountain in the capital shortly after midnight, Korea time, in an apparent suicide.
He'd been reported missing by his daughter earlier on Thursday.
Our Kim Do-yeon is at the hospital where they're holding a wake for the late mayor.
Do-yeon, people in Korea are in shock. It must be a very somber atmosphere where you are right now.
Yes, Devin, I'm at Seoul National University Hospital where the wake for Mayor Park is being held.
It's been bustling due to a lot of media here as you would expect waiting for any updates regarding the funeral process.
At noon today, the funeral home started taking visitors and is now open to the public.
We have seen many high-ranking public officials come for a visit including President Moon Jae-in's top aides and the U.S. ambassador.
However, the visitors are generally keeping their words to themselves at the moment while the media is trying to get a few words.
In addition, a handwritten message left by the Mayor has been released to the public.
Let's hear what the will said.
"I'm sorry to everyone. I thank all those who have been with me throughout my life. My family, I'm sorry that I've only given pain to you.
Good bye everyone."
Okay, so tell us briefly how all this happened, and about the funeral arrangements and how the city will deal with a vacancy in its highest post.
Devin, it was reported that at around 5 P.M., Korea time yesterday, the late Mayor's daughter called the police, saying he was missing, and the search started immediately.
His body was found on Mount Bugaksan and was transported here afterwards.
The city said earlier that the body will be moved on July 13th, and that the funeral will be a special mayoral ceremony... in the five-day traditional Korean system.
The city will set up a special memorial at City Hall for the public to pay their respects starting tomorrow.
In addition, the city said it now has an interim mayor, Park's deputy, Seo Jeong-hyup. He came out and said that he will make sure that the situation does not put people's safety in any danger.
Lastly, the public is also paying attention to the fact that the police received a complaint regarding alleged sexual harassment leveled against the Mayor on Wednesday by his former secretary... which, the public believes, could be a motivation to the apparent suicide.
Back to you, Devin.
