According to the Star Press in Muncie Indiana:
 A young Delaware County man early Monday apparently tried to take his own life by mixing household chemicals to create a potentially deadly gas.
Douglas Walker reported that two Gaston firefighters, wearing SCBA, removed the man from the trailer alive. Â It is unknown his current condition.
According to Jason Rogers, executive director of emergency management for Delaware County,  the man “would have perished†had authorities not intervened.  He added,  “This is a little exotic for us,†the team being called to the scene of a would-be “detergent suicide.â€
