A heartbroken Taiwanese man tried to commit suicide by climbing into a morgue freezer holding his dead girlfriend.
The grieving man climbed into the freezer to be with his partner but was discovered alive half an hour later.
The 41-year-old was rumbled when workers detected an unusually high temperature in the freezer and realized the hatch was not securely fastened.
A local newspaper reporter: "A morgue manager opened the hatch, saw two people lying inside, felt scared enough to yell out and then cried."
The same paper said the man had taken a drug before climbing into the freezer to speed up what appeared to be a suicide attempt.
The man’s girlfriend is said to have died on Friday following a sleeping pill overdose.
