Wired PR News – The former president of South Korea has reportedly committed suicide. As reported by the Associated Press (AP). Ex-leader Roh Moohyun died after jumping from a cliff on Saturday. The 62 year-old was said to be involved in a corruption investigation, with allegations that he took millions in bribes during his time as president from 2003-2008.

As noted by the AP, Moohyun is regarded for being a self taught attorney with no college education. Police are quoted in the report as stating that the former president wrote in a note he left behind following his suicide, “too many people are suffering because of me… What’s left for me for the rest of my life is just to be a burden to others.” He is further quoted to say, “Don’t be too sad. Aren’t life and death both part of nature? Don’t feel sorry. Don’t blame anybody. It’s destiny.”
