TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Two parents killed themselves and their two children by shutting themselves in an SUV and burning charcoal, in Taipei County, yesterday, local media reported. A man, surnamed Lee, called 110 and said that his sister received a text message from their mother in which it said the father might kill himself and his two children with sleeping pills. The police checked the location from where the message was sent and found Lee's family members in a SUV in Wulai at around 7 p.m. Lee's parents and his brother and sister, aged around 15, were in the car. They allegedly overdosed on sleeping pills and burned charcoal in the car, said the police. The four showed no signs of life and were rushed to hospital, added the police.
