GI Korea & Sonagi, there might be enough for a book when you add in David Gearson, Matthew Sellers, Bill Kapoun, Nerine Viljeon, American "T", Jamie Penich, Beau Smith and Scott James Kennedy. And there are dozens more, I just dont know enough about them.

there is no systematic database that collects information on human rights violations across the various nationalities represented among the foreign workforce here in Korea. Until there's some sort of data collection on a consistant basis, these are all just 'unfortunate accidents'.

As long as the international commuity, media & foreign nationals in general, cater to South Korea's face saving antics, there will never be enough awareness and support for such a data collection project.

Mom, my heart goes out to you. LOTS here doesn't add up- and it makes me mad as hell.

The KT prints Onionish satirical letters to the editor but can't find space to inform foreigners of important aspects of Korea's judicial system through real-life examples like that of Stephannie's son.

I highly recommend everyone listen to this podcast because it provides details about not only this case but about other suspicious deaths of foreigners in Korea as well.

These suspicious deaths of foreigners in Korea just seems like a book or a major newspaper article just waiting to be written.

May 10, 2008 119 EMT sent to the R ??? were not certified for CPR, only certified for chest compressions. According to the 119 EMT standard, a CPR certified EMT must accompany the ambulance on all calls. Yes, that's right, CPR is the top notch for EMT certification here.

May 10, 2008 police photograph remains at Taekyoung Hospital then go to R??? and photo the 'hidden pool'.

Autopsy done May 13, 2008 at 11:30 am in Ulsan, by Dr. Lee Sang Yong. No scales in examination room.

not the stand on the scale kind nor the animal weighing kind you see on farms or at the vet.

Dr. Lee Sang Yong at 12:45 gives an oral report to mother saying he recommends the events leading up to his death be investigated.

Police report given May 13, 2008 at Gyeongsan police station at 4:30pm to inspector Park.

May 23, 2008 Chosun Ibo, Dr. Huir announced to press no evidence of coughing or retching, to support 'sudden heart stoppage' theory.

June 3, 2008 First Autopsy report written by Dr. Huir of Busan Medical (not by the actual examiner, Dr. Lee Sang Yong in ULSAN Hospital) is given to the police.

June 10, 2008 it is reported in the press (English & Korean morning papers) 4:00pm mother is given a copy at her lawyer's request. Autopsy and press reveal Reye's Syndrome, congenital liver disease, overuse of antibiotics and hardening of the arteries. Evidence that tissue at the back of his mouth, trachea & bronci were torn from violent convulsions caused by coughing & retching were crouched in complex medical terms. No drugs or alcohol were found among his possessions or his body fluids/samples. (Drug and alcohol tests were done by the National Institute for Scientific Investigation, Korea's CSI)

June 18, 2008 civil suit is filed against Sauna, 119 service, hospital & inspection dept in charge of safety and health standards.

July 15, 2008 Mike's remains are moved from Gyeongsan SeoMyung Hospital (by this time Teakyoung has changed it's name to SeoMyung) to SunChunhung Hospital in Seoul, a 5 hour drive on which the mother must accompany the remains. what fun~!

August 2, 2008 mother visits Dr. Lee YoonSeong (Seoul National University) to pursuade him to do the second review. He already has the slides & photos from first autopsy review. Dr. Lee YoonSeong immediately states he will no examine any criminal forensics, even though that was not the request of the mother. She simply wanted to rule out Reye's Syndrome, a congenital liver disease and hardening of the arteries.

August 19, 2008 Dr. Lee YoonSeong completes his second review and finds no evidence of Reye's Syndrome, congenital liver disease, only the slightest of arteries hardening, yet not enough to consider Mike at risk for heart disease and no evidence of overuse of antibiotics. He does open the door of possibility for more tests to be conducted by the NISI.

August 19-28, 2008 US embassy and lawyer repeatedly ask for the Chief of Police in Gyeongsan to request further testing by NISI.

August 28, 2008 Mother runs out of money & has remains cremated. Slides, samples, photos etc are kept on file for 5 years, from date of first autopsy.

Feb, 12 2009 preliminary hearing for court case

Judge rules sauna staff must testify, color photos of the sauna and Mike's remains must be made available and a "spot inspection of the sauna" due to discrepancies in the report. (not autopsy materials/photos, we're still trying to get those)

April 3, 2009, tour of sauna takes place

April 7, 2009, First day of court. Judges accept mother's 'line of sight' vector (see above link), court rescheduled to May 26, 2009 as sauna staff again fail to present themselves before the court.

April 10, 2009 color police photos are finally made available (photos taken May 10, 2008, not autopsy materials/photos which are still on request)

anything else?

10:00 arrive at Sauna, pay & go to seperate floors

11:02 sauna employee sees Mike floating face down in pool, thinks he is "playing or bathing"

11:28 cleaning crew call 119 to remove body from pool

11:45 Mother is notified in women's side

11:47 Mother calls son's cell phone, no answer

11:56 arrive at hospital

12:10 pronounced DOA

First your timeline is all fuzzy. Any CSI who knows their stuff smells something funny.

Don't attack, but get a timeline that people can belive.
