GEO 436 SEOUL: Eight South Koreans were found dead in two separate cases of suspected group suicide, including five people who apparently inhaled toxic fumes together in a parked car, police said Thursday. Four women and one man _ all in their 20s and 30s were presumed to have inhaled the fumes by burning coal briquettes inside a parked car in Hwaseong, just south of Seoul on Wednesday, police official Song Ui-chan said. Song said two of the five left suicide notes, though he declined to elaborate on their contents. An investigation is under way to find out whether the five met and planned a suicide pact over the Internet, he said. Separately, three men were found dead hours later in Chuncheon, about 85 kilometers (50 miles) east of Seoul, police said without elaborating.
