Authorities have discovered a suicide note that they believe was written by a South Korean man who was found dead in a Hanoi apartment on Wednesday.
The man’s body was found in a flat at the R2 building of the Goldmark City apartment complex at 136 Ho Tung Mau Street in Phu Dien Ward, Bac Tu Liem District at around 9:00 am on Wednesday.
Bac Tu Lien police later identified the body as B.S.W., a 47-year-old from South Korea.
B.S.W. entered Vietnam in 2014 and had not returned to South Korea since, according to police.
He was a director of civil construction and lived alone in his apartment in the Goldmark City complex.
Authorities blocked off the building where the man lived immediately after being notified of the incident.
Medical staff from Bac Tu Liem District also arrived at the scene to ensure the area was COVID-19-free.
