“On December 18, 2017 at 4:42PM Jonghyun’s older sister reported to Police that her brother was about to commit suicide. We went to his residence in Chungdam and discovered that he had attempted to commit suicide with brown coal briquettes lit inside a frying pan.
[quote]Emergency responders were with us at the time so we rushed him to the Konkuk University Hospital in a state of cardiac arrest.”

News reports are stating that Jonghyun sent his sister a suicide note, which is when she called police to help him. Jonghyun texted the suicide note to her. The note has not been released to the public. Burning coal briquette is a type of carbon monoxide-induced suicide that has become increasingly popular in East Asian countries.

Another example of suicide by carbon monoxide is through the use of car exhaust fumes, where a pipe is run from the exhaust directly into the car while in an enclosed space like a garage.
