A steady stream of mourners from all over the country yesterday paid their respects to late President Roh Moo-hyun, whose body lay at a community center in his hometown.
More than 160,000 people, including citizens and high-profile politicians, had visited Bongha village in Gimhae, South Gyeongsang Province, as of yesterday evening, according to local officials.
Roh committed suicide early Saturday morning by leaping to his death off a cliff near his retirement home in the village, some 450 kilometers south of Seoul.
He was 62.
Roh and his wife Kwon Yang-sook had been staying at the residence since his 2003-2008 term ended in February.
