  “Police began interrogating him because some suspicious traces were found on her corpse…”

  Wow.

  This was just a big misunderstanding.

  He thought she fell for him so he responded with a touching gesture.

  Now that I actually read the article, I can add my insight snark.

  The 16-year-old high-school student told police that he wanted to see “what would happen.”
  What would happen? Not much I would imagine.

  According to police, he found the 68-year-old woman dead in a garden at 3:40 a.m.
  I see GI’s aren’t the only ones with granny fantasies. The GILF culture is alive and well and must be a universal phenomena. Although, I will inject here that the GI’s seem to prefer LIVE grannies, at least in the beginning.

  CCTV footage showed her carrying a plastic chair in the elevator, indicating that she may have killed herself, police added.
  Fine police work there, Lou! Carrying plastic chairs on elevators is an internationally recognized suicide warning sign. I bet she was also hanging out in her room, with all the doors and windows closed, while sitting in front of a fan. No doubt about it. She had a death wish.

  Leon,

  “Carrying plastic chairs on elevators is an internationally recognized suicide warning sign.”

  When I read it, I assumed she didn’t live there and brought the chair to climb over the railing on the roof.

  But maybe we misunderstood.

  Possibly not safe for work in a very conservative place:

  Well, if it helps the final paragraph in Korean gives a bit more information (you be the judge on how much it clears up):
  B씨가 플라스틱 의자를 들고 엘리베이터 를 탄 장면이 CCTV에 찍힌 점, 아파트 12층에서 의자와 함께 B씨의 것으로 추정되는 신발이 발견된 점 등으로 미뤄 B씨가 스스로 목숨을 끊은 것으로 보고 있다.

  This essentially says that:
  B took the chair on the elevator – it was on the CCTV. The police found the chair on the 12 floor and it was with a pair of shoes – the police think the shoes are hers and according to those facts the police think the woman killed herself.

  Now see, sure, if someone takes a chair into an elevator and the police think they killed themselves as a result –> that is silly…
  But here we have a woman take a chair into an elevator and then the police find a random pair of shoes and a chair on a different floor…
  That, my friends, IS an internationally recognized suicide warning sign!

  Book ‘em, Danno!

  oh an lol to “FTW” and “I’ve seen worse”

  This story reminds me of the time (this is a joke) I went into a bar & started talking with this guy. Anyway there was a big ball game that was going to come on shortly and since the bar didn’t have a TV I told the guy that I had to leave. He said that he had a big screen TV at his place (I just had a regular sized TV) and said “Hey, come over to my place. We’ll watch the ball game on TV and I’ve got a couple of ice cold ones sitting on ice.” It sounded like a great idea to me, NOT. It turns out that the guy was a necrophiliac.

  How many stories up did they find the plastic chair? Usually people who fall from great heights aren’t all that “sexy” shortly after impact. Did he have to rearrange body parts in order to complete his act of love? He obviously had to remove some of her clothing. Did he stick around for some “cuddle time”? Just plain psychotic. What’s the penalty for that in Korea? That’s the kind of thing that will follow a guy around forever. “Oh yeah, I remember you, you’re the guy who…”

  He knew she was a sure thing.

  Re #14… the way you land can determine the difference between an open/close casket funeral.

  Ok, now I think I’ve been looking at documenting reality too darn much.

  BDH 12. Thanks. Yes, I was making fun of the way the article was written/translated. Your version makes much more sense.

  The KH’s translation standards re often pretty low…

  @19

  don’t get me wrong – im not one of those – and i guessed it was an easy shot at the Rag. i was just pointing out that even a closer translation than that of the Korean Herald (strikethrough Korean Rag) wouldn’t matter and still wouldn’t be any indication of suicide.

  btw- i couldn’t think of anything witty like #14 (That’s the kind of thing that will follow a guy around forever. “Oh yeah, I remember you, you’re the guy who…”) so i asked my girlfriend:
  me – Hey can you think of any funny joke to write about a 68 yr old woman jumping to her death and then a teenager having sex with the bleeding corpse shortly after?
  her – (silence…. blinking…staring…)
