Man that's sad... another major depressive patient taking it to the end.
unfortunately, it happens everywhere; we are learning about this only because he was a VIP.

Samsung is driving their workers along the line Japanese companies did back in the 70s and 80s.

"identified only by his last name Lee"

Cause that narrows it way down!

Happy Birthday Samsung VP!

Flamebait.

This really shows that work and money isn't everything in life.

how come none of this happens in the US? i'd like to see headlines about financial CEO's suicide over stress of destroying lives of millions.

Sad news, but I wonder how many people in North America and Europe have committed suicide because they were on the bottom or middle of the barrel and due to downsizing and layoffs they were axed. It happens more than it gets reported, I am certain of that.

Because the big CEOs in the US don't give a $h!t about us poor citizens. Why should they worry about me losing my house and giving up my 7 year old dog cause I can't take care of her anymore while they get 6 or 7 digit bonuses in the middle of a depression?
Trust me, even tho the situation is different, I can relate with the feeling of why the hell am I wasting my time trying.

I only wish it was that easy. =(

Samsung is one of the few large coorporations I like. Sad to read this. This will likely do major amounts of harm to the company too.

That can't be good for Samsung stock.

I don't know what a Samsung VP makes but if you feel it is safe to assume it is in 6 figures, why the heck didnt he just retire if his job was stressing him out?! It sounds like his obsession with a high standard of living drove him to suicide and not a stressful job.

Something similar happened to a chief engineer from Toyota a couple of years ago. He was in charge of the hybrid version of the Camry and was under immense pressure to get it finished. He ended up either having a heart attack or committing suicide, I can't recall.

Being world leaders in technology fields comes with a price.

This is pedantic and probably tasteless, but the headline is wrong.

He did *not* commit suicide and then blame work. Any blame leveled by him happened before he died, unless he is now haunting the Samsung silicon foundry and is available for comment.
