Summary Box: Police say suicide while on Facebook




SUICIDE ONLINE: Police say a woman in Taiwan killed herself by inhaling poisonous fumes while chatting with friends on Facebook.

THE POSTS: Her last Facebook entries show her chatting with nine friends, alerting them to her gradual asphyxiation. A few of the Facebook friends tried to stop her and track her down on their own, but none called police.

FACEBOOK'S RESOURCES: Facebook's help page has links to suicide prevention hotlines in about 20 countries, including Taiwan. In the case of an emergency, however, Facebook urges users to call authorities immediately.
