The longest-serving mayor of South Korea's capital, a fierce critic of economic inequality who was seen as a potential presidential candidate, has been found dead.

Park Won-soon was 64.

Police say Park's body was found near a restaurant nestled in wooded hills stretching across northern Seoul after he was reported missing by his daughter.

Local media reports say one of Park's secretaries recently lodged a complaint with police over alleged sexual harassment.
