SEOUL, June 29 (Yonhap) — Kim Jae-yun, a former three-term lawmaker from the liberal bloc, was found dead on a road in southern Seoul on Tuesday, apparently after falling from a building, police said.
The 55-year-old Kim, who was elected to the National Assembly three times between 2004 and 2015 from a constituency on the southern resort island of Jeju, was discovered dead by a passer-by on a Seocho Ward road at 12:55 p.m.
Police said no suicide note was found at the scene and the cause of his death was presumed to be a fall from a building.
Police said they were investigating the cause of Kim’s death, without ruling out various possibilities, including suicide.
Kim has been serving as a chair professor at a local university.
