An employee of South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) has been found dead alongside a suicide note apologising for "causing controversy," according to South Korean police.
The body of the unnamed employee, thought to be in his 40s, was found on Saturday in his own car, which was parked on a mountain near Hwasan-ri, near the city of Yongin, south of Seoul.
Preliminary investigations have concluded he died of carbon monoxide poisoning from the burning of charcoal.
