SHENYANG, China, Sept. 9 (Yonhap) -- A South Korean missionary died in the Chinese border city of Dandong last month after suddenly collapsing, a South Korean official said Friday.

The 46-year-old missionary, identified by his family name Han, fell to the ground while foaming at the mouth as he waited for a taxi in the city's downtown area on Aug. 21, according to the official of the South Korean Consulate in the northeastern Chinese city of Shenyang.
