Without knowing more, it sure looks like it's what they're talking about. Very sad. |

Could you please tell us this man's name if you know it? We know enough details to know it was a Newfoundlander killed in Daejeon. We may as well know the rest of it rather than be left hanging. |

| I know of a guy who lived in Busan (unless he moved in the last few months) who was killed in a motorcycle accident either yesterday or today. I think he was from Quebec though or at least lived in Montreal before he came to Korea. That's what I remember him telling me. |

There are many of us from Newfoundland in Korea, this guy was from a small commnity of Blaketown... a beautiful place... Newfoundland is a closely knit province... and all of us morn the death of this young man.
Another reminder to be careful in foreign lands, or wherever you are I guess these days.
Take care up there you guys.

| Are any of his friends/colleagues or acquaintances in touch with his family now? They will be needing some support from someone who is here in Daejeon and who knew their son. I have firsthand experience with losing a loved one who is outside of their home country and it adds a whole extra dimension to the tragedy. I hope someone (crazykiwi perhaps?) has been able to speak with the young man's parents. I don't know the victim, but if there is anything I can do to help at all, please p.m. me. |

| I don't know the guy but am good friends with the one guy who saw what happened, and it was not Daejon, it was in Ulsan. Apparently the guy was one of 8 motorcyclists chugging along; six of them passed an intersection, this guy got hit, who was the seventh, and my friend was the eighth. It's a horrible thing to happen to anybody, and especially when you're so far from home. |

My friend told me that this was the 2nd death in less than a week. One was a guy from Busan (Montreal guy, I believe) who was killed riding his bike near Ulsan and the other guy was from Newfoundland.

| The guys name was Jason. He was 28 yrs old and from Canada. He hit a tree coming out of the Daeduk Tunnel in Jungmin dong, Daejon; riding his motorbike at around 4:00am Saturday. This is all fact from a reliable police source. Whether there was alcohol or not, I do not know |

No he is quite right mate. There must have been two deaths this week. not good at all. the information he gave is accurate according to most people i have spoken too. Anyway. lets not argue with semantics, and just have a moment to think what happened, and how easy it is to leave this earth. laterz |
