Suicidal Taiwan woman tries to set herself on fire, forgets match
Taipei- A jilted Taiwan woman who attempted suicide by fire in front of the Taipei World Trade Centre early Thursday was frustrated to find that she had forgotten to bring a lighter or the match, a local TV station reported.
After sprinkling herself all over with gasoline, the unidentified woman searched her handbag only to find that she had forgotten to bring a light, cable news network TVBS said.
The gasoline-soaked woman then went to the parking lot of the trade centre to try to borrow a lighter from a guard, who was suspicious of her intentions and instead called police.
The woman later told police she was dumped by her boyfriend and in desperation she wanted to end her life. The woman was later taken home by her family, TVBS said. dpa
