54 Sickened By Toxic Vomit Gas

A farmer drank a bottle of chloropicrin in an attempt to kill himself.

He was subsequently admitted to a hospital but he vomited while undergoing treatment, and this vomit actually generate toxic chlorine gas.

A total of 54 people near him, including doctors and patients, fell ill. Of them, 10 were admitted to hospitals including the Red Cross Hospital, while the 44 others who were not in serious condition are steadily recovering.

A bottle of chloropicrin, an agricultural chemical that is legally designated as a poisonous substance, was found at his home in Koshi, Kumamoto Prefecture. Investigators suspect that he swallowed the chemical to kill himself.

Firefighters clad in protective gar took three hours to neutralize the gas from 11:50 p.m.
