On Nov. 27, a woman called the emergency services, asking to be rescued after she jumped into the Han River as an attempt for suicide. Three days later, her body was found near the Gayang Bridge, 8.5 kilometers east of Mapo Bridge, by a member of the public. “I’m just saying it’s amazing how you can call while swimming in the middle of the river late at night,” he said. He said that controversial part of the call happened after the rescue team had already been sent her way. – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
