Two men and a woman were found dead in an apparently jointly planned suicide at a studio apartment in Incheon, west of Seoul, police said, Friday.
They got to know each other through an Internet community site, sharing knowledge about suicide and are suspected of having killed themselves via smoke inhalation, police said.
According to investigators, a building janitor found their bodies on Thursday at 2 p.m. and notified police. Suicide notes and a burnt briquette were found at the scene, they said. ``It's too difficult and lonely to live,'' the notes said.
The janitor said the studio was filled with a foul odor and dark smoke. The apartment windows remained completely sealed with sticky tape in order to prevent smoke from leaking outside, police said.
