omonatheydidSEOUL, South Korea – Former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun has died after a fall while mountain climbing, a news report said Saturday.
Yonhap news agency quoted police as saying that Roh died after falling down a mountain while hiking with an aide. Police could not immediately confirm the report.
Roh suffered severe head injuries and died after being transported from his hometown of Gimhae to a hospital in the southern city of Busan, the report said.
Police were trying to confirm whether the fall was an accident or if he possibly committed suicide, it said.
Roh has been under investigation in a bribery scandal over allegations that he took more than $6 million from a businessman while in office. He served as South Korea's president from 2003 to 2008.
