    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
