Police said they do not suspect foul play.

Sure. High profile judges frequently drop dead without warning… Nothing to see here

It was probably just stress. /s

considering SK people has been known for its high suicide rate, its probably suicide…with 13 gunshots on the back of the head.

edit: it seems like he got the russian “suddenly fell out of nowhere” treatment 😐

The South Korean National Intelligence Service (NIS) has been involved in several controversial cases in the past, including the assassination of President Park Chung-hee.

In some crime themed manhwa, the NIS is also portrayed as a terrifying organization in the eyes of the police and the public.

Amazingly vague details. Some healthy person is found dead in a public building with no report on cause of death. Yeah. If you know the history of this former leader, her family, they are historically connected to the fascist regime of post WW2 Korea. Which were mostly supported directly and indirectly fascist Japan and America.

Really feels like a means of the far right in South Korea using a political assassination, especially as the current leadership of South Korea is farther left than it has been in awhile.

The Republic of Samsung–an outpost of the USA. Heavy corruption is to be expected.

FTA: “Police said they do not suspect foul play”.

Is that the usual news-speak for avoiding the word ‘suicide’, or corrupt police making things up?

Probably went to sleep with the fan on.

Oh man is their entire government going to explode with some over the top insane tinfoil hat conspiracy come to life again?
