The sudden death of Seoul’s mayor, reportedly implicated in a
Sexual Harassment complaint, has prompted an outpouring of public sympathy even as it has raised questions about a man who built his career as a reform-minded politician and self-described feminist.
Park Won-soon was found dead on a wooded hill in northern Seoul early Friday, about seven hours after his daughter reported to
police he had left her a “will-like” verbal message and then left their home.
Authorities launched a massive search for the 64-year-old Park before rescue dogs found his body.
