The E-Sylum:  Volume 6, Number 52, December 7, 2003, Article 28

NEXT TIME BURN THE CREDIT CARDS

  From a December 2nd Reuters report: "A Frenchman who
  burned his life savings to a cinder before swallowing two
  bottles of pills is facing life with an empty bank account after
  neighbors foiled his suicide attempt."

  "The man, who lived alone, had cleared out his bank balance
  of 240,000 euros ($288,500) and set fire to the pile of 500
  euro notes in his bath before swallowing the pills, hoping to
  leave nothing behind after his death."
