		</div><p>The missing mayor of South Korea’s capital, who was reportedly embroiled in sexual harassment allegations, has been found dead.</p>
<p>Park Won-soon’s body was discovered after he sent his daughter a will-like message, police said.</p>
<p>The 64-year-old’s remains were located near a restaurant in wooded hills in northern Seoul, more than seven hours after the search was launched.</p>
<p>Mr Park’s daughter called police on Thursday afternoon and said her father had given her “a will-like” verbal message in the morning before leaving home.</p>
<p>She did not explain the contents of the message, an officer at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said.</p>
<p>Police said they mobilised about 600 police and fire officers, drones and tracking dogs to search for Mr Park in the hills, where his mobile phone signal was last detected.</p>
<p>They said the phone was turned off when they tried to call him.</p>
<p>His daughter called police after she could not reach her father on the phone, the Seoul police officer said.</p>
<p>Kim Ji-hyeong, a Seoul Metropolitan Government official, said Mr Park did not show up for work on Thursday for unspecified reasons and had cancelled all of his schedule, including a meeting with a presidential official at his Seoul City Hall office.</p>
<p>The Seoul-based SBS television network reported one of Mr Park’s secretaries lodged a complaint with police on Wednesday night over alleged sexual harassment, such as unwanted physical contact, that began in 2017.</p>
<p>The SBS report said the secretary told police investigators that an unspecified number of other female employees at Seoul City Hall had suffered similar sexual harassment by Mr Park.</p>
<p>MBC television carried a similar report.</p>
<p>Both the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency and Mr Park’s office said they could not confirm the reports.</p>
<p>Police officer Lee Byeong-seok told reporters Mr Park was last identified by a security camera at 10.53am local time at the entrance to the hills, more than six hours before his daughter called police to report him missing.</p>
<p>Fire officer Jeong Jin-hyang told reporters that rescuers used dogs to search dangerous areas on the hills.</p>
<p>Mr Park, a long-time civic activist and human rights lawyer, was elected Seoul mayor in 2011.</p>
<p>He became the city’s first mayor to be voted into a third term in June last year.</p>
<p>A member of president Moon Jae-in’s Democratic Party, he has been considered a potential presidential candidate in the 2022 elections.</p>
<p>As a lawyer, he was credited with winning the country’s first sexual harassment conviction.</p>
