    FTA: “Police said they do not suspect foul play”.

    Is that the usual news-speak for avoiding the word ‘suicide’, or corrupt police making things up?

      Maybe…Some countries, like Japan, have an extremely high murder conviction rate. They do this by not labeling it a murder unless they find the murderer and enough evidence.

      I don’t know if that is the same case in SK, but it could be an admin think until they know more.

        Press X to doubt that their false conviction rate is actually significantly lower

    Sure. High profile judges frequently drop dead without warning… Nothing to see here

      Amazingly vague details. Some healthy person is found dead in a public building with no report on cause of death. Yeah. If you know the history of this former leader, her family, they are historically connected to the fascist regime of post WW2 Korea. Which were mostly supported directly and indirectly fascist Japan and America.

      Really feels like a means of the far right in South Korea using a political assassination, especially as the current leadership of South Korea is farther left than it has been in awhile.

    The Republic of Samsung–an outpost of the USA. Heavy corruption is to be expected.

      Not everything is about the USofA. There are literally hundreds of other countries in the world. This is an article about Korea written by a British media outlet. Please
