Lee Hee-ho, widow of former President Kim Dae-jung, suffered minor injuries Thursday night after having fallen backward while washing her face, officials at the Severance Hospital said.
She needed three stitches in the back of her head.
“The result of magnetic resonance imaging shows no anomalies,” a hospital official told media, declining to be named. Lee was discharged from the hospital Friday.
Her husband, the 2000 Nobel Peace laureate, passed away in 2009. Since then, Lee, 90, has headed the Kim Dae Jung Peace Center, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting democracy and peace on the peninsula and beyond, and tackling poverty.
