Korean found dead in La Union beach resort

A Korean was found dead inside a rented room in a beach resort in La Union province early Friday. Radio dzXL reported Heon Chang, 45, was found hanging inside the room at the resort in Poro village in San Fernando, La Union. The Korean was rushed to a nearby hospital but was declared dead on arrival. Police said their initial investigation indicated the victim may have committed suicide due to P127,000 in unpaid bills at the resort, and P300,000 in losses at the casino. However, they said they still cannot discount the possibility of foul play in the incident.
