>Carbon Monoxide poisoning from a single Coal briquette cooked on a frying pan

I think most of us realise how silly this sounds, as it would require a sealed environment and plenty of time for the carbon monoxide to build up, let alone not escape out any windows. Though still entirely possible.

Given a quick Google, this suicide method's wiki page came back with this interesting tidbit

>"As a method of suicide it is mentioned by Eugène Sue in The Wandering Jew (1844)."

SHINee has an album from 2010 called "Lucifer"

>"Within hours of the album's release, it topped various physical and digital sales charts in South Korea.[2] The songs on the album "were more carefully selected than ever"…

Member Onew made his debut as a lyricist on track 9, "Your Name", while Jonghyun contributed lyrics for the second time"

JonghYun specifically wrote the lyrics for this piece, on an album with such a distinct name.

Could this have been more than a suicide? Are we seeing a global swamp cleansing?
