UPDATE: the women from the Banqiao suicide pact are alive

The three women who were found unconscious around a bowl of burnt inside an old apartment were sent immediately to the hospital as there were still faint signs of life in each of them. And now they have recovered from the traumatic episode and are in their post-ICU stage; but only one of the women, Liang, is fully conscious.

Liang and the two other women, Chu and Lin, had decided to enter a suicide pact at Yu's residence the night before last when they could not find Yu. The women had been fully determined to end their lives, however, the police and the fire department arrived in time to resuscitate.

The police found a suicide note in Chu's purse, which mentioned the massive debt the three individuals were in due to the fact that they had decided to help Yu with her bail bond ($12,000,000 NTD). But they were under the impression that Yu would pay back the money as fast as she could within a year. When Yu went out of touch, the three became burdened with debt. The day the three entered the suicide pact was the last day Yu's given deadline.

When Liang awoke yesterday, she told the police that Lin and Chu were her goddaughters, and that the three had decided to act as Yu's bail bondsmen. Chu contributed the most out of the three, and with such enormous debt on her shoulders, she convinced the other two bondsmen to enter the suicide pact with her as a form of revenge against Yu.

Police tried to contact Yu to get her side of the story, but could only get hold of her son. He said that he hadn't spoken to his mother in a while and was not aware of her debt situation.

The police will try to get the four women together to sort out their financial conflict in the future if they could find Yu.
