3. Looks like it could have been another potential Cho Guk situation

The trials of the former Minister of Justice Cho Guk, and his wife are winding down, and current Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae is having an investigation conducted into the so called illegal press-prosecution alliance allegedly directed from the Prosecutor General's office.

The forensic team hadn't completed it's on scene investigation, yet. If it is a suicide, Park avoided allowing the right to use any potential investigation and prosecution of him to derail the ongoing momentum of the judicial reform movement. The mayor's loss could possibly result in reintroduction of street politics to Gwanghwamun. The mayor had decisively ended the demonstrations againt Cho Guk and President Moon Jae-in by declaring them in violation of public health law during the epidemic, and jailing the demagogue preacher who led them, Minister Jeon Kwang-hoon.
