Update: Foreign Teacher William Kapoun Passes Away
After almost two weeks in hospital, American William Kapoun passed away in Seoul on Saturday, March 8th. He died from concurrent cardiac arrests after sustaining third degree burns over 70% of his body in an apartment fire on February 24th. His girlfriend died during the fire, but it has not been reported who she was or where she was from. William worked in Haebongchon, Yongsan, Seoul as an ESL teacher for an "after hours" program in a public school. Although donations from colleagues, friends, family and even a retroactive payment from Korea National Health Insurance Corp. have helped ease the burden of medical expenses, the Kapoun family is still in need of generous contributions.
