Considering that he was a former human rights lawyer and an anti-corruption campaigner, his suicide over bribery is definitely surprising, especially that he was also the former president of a nation.

It would have been quite a tragedy if it turned out that the guy had gone for a walk at the mountains and decided to gaze into the city below the cliff, reminiscing of the time he was the leader of the nation, then suddenly.. Some mountain climbers walked by getting the wrong idea that the ex-president was contemplating suicide but was somewhat indecisive and thus, they decided to provide assistance in the name of euthanasia. In the end, the guy fell off the cliff and died. However, this isn't the case as that it has been confirmed it is a suicide. May Roh Moo-hyun rest in peace!

The guy could've had his chance to vindicate himself in court, yet he chose to die with a tainted reputation, possibly taking Budd Dwyer as a model to guilt trip his accusers. This is a douche move, quite frankly.
