S. Korean actor Park Yong-Ha found
SEOUL, June 30 (UPI) -- South Korean singer and actor Park Yong-Ha has been found hanged with an electrical cord at his home, police said. He was 33.
Investigators told the BBC they believe Park committed suicide Tuesday night and they are not treating his death as suspicious.
The former star of TV's "Winter Sonata" had been under great strain trying to manage his career while also nursing his terminally ill, cancer-stricken father, the British broadcaster reported.
"I must be sick instead of you, father. I'm sorry, I'm sorry," a police statement quoted Park as saying before his death.
Park had been scheduled to start work on the new drama series "Comrades, Almost a Love Story" next month, the BBC said.

"Welcome Back Veterans is offering crucial support services to America's military men and women and their families," Hanks said in a statement. "When it comes to supporting our veterans and their families, I am proud to do whatever I can."
