South Korea mayor’s body found

The missing mayor of South Korea’s capital, reportedly embroiled in sexual harassment allegations, was found dead yesterday, more than half a day after giving his daughter a will-like message and then leaving home, police said. Police said they located Park Won-soon’s body near a traditional restaurant in wooded hills in northern Seoul, more than seven hours after they launched a massive search for him. Choi Ik-su, an officer from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, told reporters there were no signs of foul play and no suicide note had been found at the site or in Park’s residence. He refused to elaborate on the cause of Park’s death.
