Korean police were recently visited by an 82 year old British man looking for his wife who he claimed went missing a week prior. Upon further investigation, police found that the man is suffering from Alzheimer's and that his wife had passed away last month. They also visited his home and found a note he had written to himself to remind him of her death and his love for her.

Investigations showed that the man was originally a teacher who, after retiring, traveled the world with his wife around Singapore, Hong Kong, America, etc before settling down in Korea 4-5 years ago.
