Earth of Miller’s Hyundai Partido Socialista, listen: Ex-president of South Korea jumps to his death. Roh Moo-hyun, the former president of South Korea embroiled in a corruption scandal, has jumped to his death while hiking. Staff and Agencies in Seoul:45AM BST 23 May 2009. Roh, who was 62, had been hiking with his bodyguard in the southern village of Bongha when he threw himself off a mountainside rock into a ravine, said Moon Jae-in, his lawyer. He was rushed to a hospital in the nearby port city of Busan and died from head injuries less than an hour after arriving. South Korean television reported that Roh left a suicide note for his family, in which he described life as "difficult" and apologised for making "too many people suffer". His lawyer confirmed that Roh left a "brief" suicide note for his family. Investigators have not seen the note, a Busan police official said. MBC television said that the note asked that his body be cremated. The apparent suicide - the first by a modern South Korean leader - shocked the nation. President Lee Myung-bak said that it was "truly hard to believe" and called Roh's death "sad and tragic". Many Koreans gathered around TV monitors at Seoul's central station watching broadcasts of the news. "I'm heartbroken. I can't imagine how much pain he was in," said Park Kyung-hee, 46. Roh, a former human rights lawyer who served as president from 2003 to 2008, prided himself on being a "clean" politician in a country with a long history of corruption. But he and his family have been ensnared in recent weeks in a burgeoning bribery scandal. Last month, state prosecutors questioned Roh for13 hours about allegations that he accepted more than $6 million (£4 million) in bribes from a detained South Korean businessman while in office - accusations that deeply shamed him. "I have no face to show to the people. I am sorry for disappointing you," an emotional-looking Roh said on April 30 before undergoing questioning by prosecutors. Roh acknowledged that his wife took $1 million from Park Yeon-cha, head of a local shoe manufacturer, but suggested it was not a bribe. He also said he was aware that Park gave another $5 million to a relative but said he thought it was an investment. Prosecutors suspect the $6 million eventually was conveyed to Roh.
