Nine dead in Japan, apparent group suicide

TOKYO (AP) -- Nine bodies were found in two cars in central Japan in what appeared to be the country's latest group suicides, police said Saturday.

One group of six people was found on an isolated farm road south of Tokyo by a farmer who called police after noticing people slumped over and apparently dead in a vehicle. Investigators who searched the car found three men and two women in their twenties and one woman in her forties, said T. Morishita, an investigator from the Misaki police station in Kanagawa prefecture.

The other car, with the bodies of one man and two women, was discovered in front of an empty vacation home in a resort area further west, said an official at the Shimoda police station.

In both vehicles, charcoal stoves were found lying on the floorboards while the windows were sealed with tape from the inside. All nine appeared to have died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
