Strange Death of Samsung Heiress
Iain Thomson writes on vnunet.com:
Lee Yoon-hyung, the 26-year-old daughter of Samsung chairman Lee Kun-hee, has been found dead in her New York apartment.
Officials at Samsung originally told the press that she died in a car accident, but later admitted the truth after press investigation. Samsung spokesman Yim Jun-seok confirmed to Reuters that Lee's death was a suicide.
"At the time the story initially broke, we had an insufficient amount of information," he said.
After later learning about the actual cause of death, company officials did not correct initial reports out of respect for the family and due to the personal nature of the episode, he added.
