Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon was found dead on Friday, according to police, in what appears to be one of the country’s highest-profile suicides in recent history.

On Wednesday, Park made a public appearance while holding a press conference on the city’s “Green New Deal” that intends to cut carbon dioxide emissions while creating jobs.

According to local news reports, Park was recently facing allegations of sexual harassment.

A former secretary of Park filed a complaint against Park on Wednesday with the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency for alleged sexual assaults.

She alleged that Park had made physical contact several times since she began to work with him in 2017. She submitted messages that she had exchanged with Park via the Telegram service to police as evidence.

According to her testimony, there have also been other victims sexually assaulted by the mayor.

[Breaking] Seoul mayor found dead, suicide suspected

Looks like he was in deep.
 
I suppose he didn't want to see his family suffer stretches of humiliation for his actions.

Suicide can be a somewhat redeeming quality in some Asian societies.

We know Trump won't do that! LOL
