Nine people were found dead in two cars near Tokyo, in what was believed to be the latest in a series of macabre suicide pacts by Japanese burning charcoal in an enclosed space. Police said Saturday six people, three men and three women mostly aged in their 20s, were found in a rented minivan early in the morning. They had apparently died of carbon monoxide poisoning or overdose of sleeping pills a day earlier. Hours later, the bodies of one man and two women, in their 30s and 40s, were found in a rented sedan. Nearly 50 people have died in similar suicides since early October.
