Death escapes young lovers ... again

Taipei - First they drove a car off a cliff. Then they tried to hang themselves. In their latest failed suicide bid, two Taiwanese lovers, Huang Pin-jen, 27, and Chang Shu-mei, 26, jumped hand-in-hand from the 12th floor of their hotel, but landed on the roof of a five-story restaurant. They are in a stable condition in hospital. A police spokesman said the couple's parents disapproved of their relationship, but had "agreed to settle their dispute with the young couple". AP
