By Kwak Yeon-soo
Cardinal Nicholas Cheong Jin-suk, former archbishop of Seoul, passed away late Tuesday at the age of 89. Cheong, who became Korea's second cardinal after the late Cardinal Stephen Kim Sou-hwan, had been receiving treatment for various age-related ailments, according to officials of the Catholic Church.
He was hospitalized at St. Mary's Hospital in Seoul in February due to his frail condition. Cheong was in a critical condition due to several illnesses, but opted not to receive life-support treatment.
"Cardinal Cheong passed away at 10:15 p.m. on Tuesday while in hospital for his deteriorating health. Medical staff and officials of the Archdiocese of Seoul witnessed the hour of his death. His last words were, 'Thank you and always be happy. God wants us to be happy,'" Huh Young-yeop, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of Seoul said at a news briefing Wednesday.
