Korean police officer suspected of presidential document leak commits suicide

A police officer suspected of leaking a sensitive presidential document that has created a major political mayhem in South Korea was found dead in an apparent suicide Saturday, investigators said.
According to the document leaked to the media late last month, Jeong Yun-hoe, who served as an adviser for President Park Geun-hye when she was a lawmaker, is alleged to have held regular meetings with several incumbent senior presidential officials to influence state affairs including personnel matters. He has never held any official position in the current administration.
