Missing N. Korean consul found dead in Shenyang: sources
SHENYANG, China, Nov. 13 (Yonhap) -- Chinese authorities are investigating the death of a North Korean diplomat whose body was discovered in late October after he went missing for nearly a month, sources here said Friday.
The diplomat, identified only by his surname of Kim, was a consul at the North Korean consulate-general in this eastern city of China, according to the sources.
Kim, in his mid-40s and in charge of economic affairs at the mission, went missing early last month after leaving the office to go to a bank, the sources said.
They said investigators did not find external injuries at the time the body was discovered and have not been able to conclude whether the cause of death was suicide or murder.
