Korean man travelled to Ireland and ended his life, court told

A 29-year old man travelled almost 6,000 miles from South Korea last June with the declared intention of ending his life here.

Garda Ruth O’Sullivan told the Clare coroner’s court in Ennis that Chin Won Choi from the Korean city of Daegu was last seen by his family on June 3 “and they stated that he intended to travel to Ireland to take his own life”.
