Using the complex scaling method, the low-lying three-body resonances of [sup 6]He, [sup 6]Li, and [sup 6]Be are investigated in a parameter-free microscopic three-cluster model. In [sup 6]He a 2[sup +], in [sup 6]Li a 2[sup +] and a 1[sup +], and in [sup 6]Be the 0[sup +] ground state and a 2[sup +] excited state are found. The other experimentally known 2[sup +] state of [sup 6]Li cannot be localized by our present method. We have found no indication for the existence of the predicted 1[sup [minus]] soft dipole state in [sup 6]He. We argue that the sequential decay mode of [sup 6]He through the resonant states of its two-body subsystem can lead to peaks in the excitation function. This process can explain the experimental results in the case of [sup 11]Li, too. We propose an experimental analysis, which can decide between the soft dipole mode and the sequential decay mode.
