Why can’t we get stuff like this in the New York Times?
A university student hanged himself in full view of his girlfriend abroad, to whom he had been chatting online via webcam link….
Kim’s girlfriend, a 27-year-old identified as Yang who was studying in the U.K., informed a friend living in Seoul, who in turn called the police.
Police said Kim and Yang had been fighting while video chatting at around 10:00 a.m. when Kim suddenly got up and killed himself.
“Even when I was in Korea, my boyfriend normally used to say extreme and unsettling thing when we fought, like he was going to kill himself,” police quoted Yang as saying. “At first, I though he was just trying to scare me, but I was shocked when I saw his body suddenly drop.”

Guess he reached the end of his rope. Hehehe.
Hell, in the States we get televised suicides–this is small time
Wow. You guys sure do enjoy the gallows humor.
(Sorry. Couldn’t resist.)
That’ll teach her.
She’ll always remember him as being, well, hung. (terrible)
If I were that gal, I would have gone to the UK too. The manic-depressives there are a lot more sensitive and caring, whereas the guys back home just leave you hanging.
So.. many… bad… puns…
We’re all horrible, horrible people.
there’s no need to be all hung up over it. oops.
[erhaps he didn't want to be in a long-distance relationship anymre, and she kept him on too short a leash? yeah...the trick is to listen the collar before the oxygen gives out.
Jeebus, I’m laughing so hard that I’m choking.
I guess she should have hung around instead of leaving.
He was obviously pretty hung up on her.
Maybe if they’d hung out more often then he wouldn’t have had all those hang ups.
I had to join the parade. Don’t lynch me.
Come on guys, give the poor girl a break. She just lost her boyfriend. Now who’s she going to hang around with?
Not to be nitpicky, but did anyone check the date on that article?
But sometimes, old news is better than no news!
You’re right, Nomad. This guy was in the noose nearly a year ago.
It looks like he could at least string more than a few sentences together.
[Lame attempt to make up for earlier lame comment.]
Iceberg,
But even after one year, he’s still somehow hanging around.
dangling articles are certainly bothersome…
He certainly was a swinger, but I don’t want to cut down someone who was obviously at the end of his rope and who’s not around to defend himself. And I agree that old noose is better than no noose.
And here I thought this thread had dropped from people’s interest. Time to let it die.
I guess folks are not done with the bad puns.
Dang me, dang me, why not get a rope and…….
