School vice principal who was rescued from South Korean ferry while students drowned is found hanging from tree in front of victims' families

The vice-principal of the high school whose pupils died when a South Koren ferry capsized ( click here if you missed the story) has committed suicide by hanging himself outside a large gym where families of the victims were staying.
Police said that Kang Min-gyu, 52, went missing yesterday and appeared to have hanged himself from a tree outside the gym.
Out of 475 passengers and crew on the ship, about 340 were students and teachers from the Danwon High School in Ansan, an industrial town near Seoul, who were on an outing to the resort island of Jeju.
His death is the latest individual tragedy to emerge in the wake of the dramatic sinking, which has cost at least 28 people their lives.
Sometimes we think people are just strong by mere looking at them not knowing how weak they are, maybe a word from somebody would have saved him but then as the Vice- principal, everybody assumes he is super human. May his soul rest in peace.
