Election unrest during presidential campaign in South Korea

The South Korean presidential election campaign reaches a dramatic climax with the death of the principal opposition candidate, P.H. Shinnecke, who was a strong challenger to President Syngman Rhee. Shinnecke's sudden death from a cerebral hemorrhage occurs shortly after his campaign films were made. His body is returned to Seoul, leading to anti-Rhee demonstrations, primarily involving university students. These demonstrations escalate into the first major riot against Rhee since South Korea became a republic in 1948. However, calm is eventually restored as the election approaches.
