A man and a woman who attempted to commit suicide through carbon monoxide poisoning have called firefighters for help, police said Wednesday.
The man, 32, and the woman, 19, burned charcoal in a hotel room late Tuesday but called firefighters after nothing happened, Han Jong-seop, police superintendent at Gwanak Police Station, said.
The two had met through chatting online, he added.
It was not immediately clear why they had decided to kill themselves.
They were being treated at a local hospital, but their conditions were unknown. (Yonhap)
