On this one, the captain BW was a 'North American' (i.e. a Canadian, not an American or a Mexican ). I believe he came from Wardair and had to flee the country on short notice to avoid possible charges as an expat commander involved in an accident. I think he may be retired from Air Canada by now.
This is a quote from an archived post on PPRuNe - sent on 23 Feb 2001:
"This is old news but it's worth mentioning. I just found out today that the captain of the ill-fated KE A300, died of cancer a few months ago. He was a CDN 767 F/O before his death. RIP"
