Former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun has died after falling into a ravine while climbing a mountain, police say.

An aide to the former president said he had left what appeared to be a suicide note.

Mr Roh, who left office in February 2008, was under investigation for bribery.

John Sudworth reports from Seoul.
