A SOUTH Korean television personality known as the "happiness preacher"
and her husband have been found dead in a motel room in an apparent
joint suicide, police said.
A motel employee in the town of Goyang north of Seoul found Choi
Yoon-Hee, 63, and her 72-year-old husband hanging in their room
Thursday night, they said.
A note left by Choi and released by police read - "I've felt something
wrong with my body from two years ago. I have a hard time, suffering
from lung and heart diseases."
She apologised to her family and friends for giving in to "unbearable"
pain.
Police said the husband was believed to have helped his wife commit
suicide before killing himself.
Choi wrote about 20 books about happiness and hope and earned her
nickname for inspiring people through her TV programs to live happily.
South Korea has the world's highest suicide rate for women among major
advanced nations, according to official data, and the second highest
rate for men after Japan.
