Here is a good safety tip for those who plan to conduct a exorcism any time soon, make sure the person you plan to exorcise has the ability to breathe:

A 41-year-old Korean woman was found dead in a guest room of a hotel in Frankfurt last week, the victim of a supposed exorcism performed by her own family members.
German prosecutors said on Thursday five Koreans, including the dead woman’s teenage son, were arrested at the scene for suspected murder.
Police found the woman’s body tied to a bed in a guest room at the Frankfurt Hotel InterContinental on Dec. 5.
She had been beaten repeatedly on her chest and stomach over a two-hour period and finally suffocated to death, according to prosecutors.
The accused were mostly relatives of the victim. They included her 15-year-old son, a 44-year-old relative and her 21-year-old son and 19-year-old daughter, and an unrelated boy aged 15.
The family members had allegedly been trying to drive a demon from the woman, believing her to be possessed.
Her mouth had been gagged with a towel to stifle screams and a cloth-covered coat hanger was pushed down her throat.
The woman died from suffocation as a result of massive chest compression, as well as trauma to her neck, according to prosecutors. [Joong Ang Ilbo]
