Former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun died apparently after falling while hiking, police said Saturday.

The information came from the Geyong Nam Police Department, a provincial police agency, which said circumstances of the death — which occurred near where Roh was living — were not immediately clear. A hospital spokesman declined to comment. Roh served as president from 2003-2008.
