Long time Seoul City Mayor Park Won-soon was found dead, police said on Friday (Jul 10), after his daughter reported him missing saying he had left a message "like a will". The mayor's body was found at Mt Bugak in northern Seoul around midnight, near where his phone signal had last been detected, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said. The agency did not give a cause of death. The city's police did not respond to Reuters' calls seeking comment, but said in a statement that it would investigate the cause of his death. As mayor of the city of nearly 10 million people, Park was one of South Korea's most influential politicians and played a high-profile role in its response to the coronavirus pandemic. He was seen as a potential presidential hopeful for the liberals in the 2022 presidential elections//Reuters
