A South Korean Christian pastor has starved himself to death in the belief that he will be resurrected, local police said on Thursday. The pastor’s 48-year-old female partner was arrested on Saturday for negligence in the death, AFP said. The pastor in the Dongjak district of southwest Seoul, who was identified as Jung, reportedly died after fasting. He stopped eating on April 9 and died on April 18. He told his partner not to take him to hospital if he appeared near death, in the hope of resurrection three and a half days later.
