First British internet suicides [suicide] — rustle @ 2:47 pm

suicide

We now have Britain’s first internet pact suicide.

Christopher Aston, a 25-year-old student from Liverpool, northern England, and unemployed Maria Williams, 42, also known as Sanchez, from south London, were found dead in a car in the British capital on February 23.

They had poisoned themselves with carbon monoxide fumes from burning barbecue charcoal.

An inquest this week was told that the pair made contact through a suicide website. They both left separate suicide notes.

The method of suicide is very japanese, too.

And, of course, there are calls for websites which allow this sort of thing to be closed down.
