S. Korean found dead in Sydney
SEOUL, April 18 (Yonhap) -- A South Korean man was found dead in Sydney, the Consulate General there said Saturday, five days after he went missing while returning home after meeting friends.
The 27-year-old working holiday visa holder, surnamed Kim, reportedly took a taxi home early Monday morning after drinking with friends.
The cause of death is still unknown, the South Korean officials said, adding an autopsy will be conducted next week.
In November 2013, a South Korean woman was also killed while walking from her apartment to her cleaning job at a hotel in Brisbane, six weeks after entering the country for a working holiday program.
