Hi, our names are Sylvian Florian Delaitre and Jennifer Cornelio. We are a pair of star crossed lovers who had told our friends that we had been thinking about crossing over together. They laughed it off as a weird joke naturally. But we finally did it. We wrote a pair of suicide notes, ensconced ourselves inside a tent, and our sprits passed from this life to the next.

Investigations continue to shed light on the death of a French and Cebuana couple inside a tent in a subdivision in Tagbilaran City, Bohol.
But initial investigations pointed to suicide, police in Central Visayas said.
Coroners in Tagbilaran City ruled that the victims, Sylvian Florian Delaitre and Jennifer Cornelio, died of asphyxiation after inhaling toxic fumes, said Police Lt. Col. Gerald Ace Pelare, spokesperson of the Police Regional Office in Central Visayas (PRO-7).
“This would coincide with the recovery of toxic chemicals in the area,” Pelare told reporters in a teleconference.
Investigators also disclosed that they received information from one of the couple’s friends, saying that they had been contemplating taking their own lives before.
While evidence showed that the tragedy that befell Delaitre and Cornelio was an apparent suicide, police have not closed the case yet.
Pelare said police in Bohol have not found any signs of foul play. However, he clarified they continue to conduct further and deeper investigations into it.
Last April 12, authorities confirmed recovering the bodies of Delaitre and Cornelio inside a tent they set up on a vacant lot in a subdivision in Bool District in Tagbilaran City.
Delaitre, 39, came from France while Cornelio, 30, was a native of San Fernando town in southern Cebu.
Police recovered a container of muriatic acid and a pail of chemical believed to be hydrogen sulfide. In addition, they also found what looked like suicide notes.
“But as we’ve mentioned before, everything is still to be validated with more and deeper investigation,” Pelare added.
Hi, my name is being withheld by the police. For a few weeks I has not been eating or sleeping regularly as I was in the midst of a nervous breakdown.

When they were gone that is when I stabbed myself in the gut and bled to death.
