A Japanese farmer committed suicide by drinking the pesticide chloropicrin. During attempts to induce vomiting, toxic fumes put down 54 people. Twenty three were other patients, thirty one were hospital workers.

Mr. Angel Medina, 24, was found dead underneath a bridge in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in August, and in accordance with what his brother said were his longstanding wishes, he was embalmed in a standing position, in a corner of his mother's living room, for a three-day wake (wearing his Yankees cap and sunglasses).
