Lins last Facebook entries show her chatting with nine friends,alerting them to her gradual asphyxiation. One picture uploaded from her mobile phone depicts a charcoal barbecue burning next to two stuffed animals. Another showed fumes filling the room. Lin wrote: The fumes are suffocating. They fill my eyes with tears. A few of the Facebook friends chatting with her tried to stop her and track her down.

Lins last words,in Chinese,were: Too late. My room is filled with fumes. I just posted another picture. Even while Im dying,I still want FB Facebook. Must be FB poison. Haha.

Lins Facebook postings indicated she was unhappy because her boyfriend was ignoring her,and failed to return home to be with her on her birthday. Her boyfriend found her body the next morning and alerted her family,Hsieh said.
