Police: Roh′s death appears to be suicide
Police in South Korea say Roh Moo-hyun's death is apparently a suicide.
Police officers say the former president hurled himself off a steep cliff early on Saturday while hiking near his home in Bongha.
Police say a security guard was accompanied Roh during the hiking trip in the mountains. The guard told police that before jumping from the cliff, the former president deliberately caused the guard to turn his attention away to some other climbers on the mountain.
After the fall, Roh was rushed to a local hospital. Later he was transferred to Busan National University Hospital, where he was declared dead, several hours later.
Paek Seung-Wan, Chief Busan National University Hospital, said, "When he came into hospital, the electrocardiogram monitoring showed no sign of pulse beat. A laceration measuring 11 centimeters was found on the front part of his head. Doctors in this hospital attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) but suspended it at 8:30 am since he failed to recover."
