Walking to his death: Last moments of Seoul mayor as he set off to kill himself

[scubaguy]

Hi, came across this poignant story and thought it might be of interest to people here showing pictures and video of his last walk;

"These are the last moments of Seoul's mayor as he set off to kill himself following allegations of sexual harassment.
Newly released CCTV footage shows Park Won-soon, 64, wearing a blue cap, dark jacket and trousers, walking down an alley as he made his way to his suicide spot.
He kept his head bowed and wore a backpack as he left his official residence in Gahoe-dong shortly after 10:40am on Thursday, having cancelled his meetings for the day."

It's so fucking typical of Koreans. Some public figure does something wrong, he kills himself, and people move on and nothing changes.
There will no real discussions about suicide or sexual harassment and the next guy to replace him will be the same.

 

[I screwed up]

What was the method to ctb ?

What was the method to ctb ?

Details haven't been released but he was found in the woods so maybe he hung himself from a tree?

I respect his decision to ctb.

If the allegations against him were true, I think his death is the best way he could atone. Personally, I would rather not have to be in the same world as someone who has harassed me nor would I care to divulge every single detail so others can judge the truth.

If the allegations weren't true, he had his own reasons which we'll never know.

Or maybe he stabbed himself like in a harakiri ritual, who knows...

If the allegations were true and the reason for his suicide, it sets up a pretty severe roadblock to other people with harrassment to report. The woman who reported this is going to feel (and/or be made to feel) guilty of his suicide for the rest of her life. Not a position many people want to be in on top of the tribulations of coming forward with this kind of accusation.

Or maybe he stabbed himself like in a harakiri ritual, who knows...

Not likely, since he was Korean, not Japanese, and probably had no one handy to decapitate him at the crucial moment.

Anybody got a Spanish translation of "It's Raining Men?" Or would that be tacky? Probably tacky. I'm humming it anyway.
