9 Die in Japan Suicides Tied to Web - GoFuckYourself.com

TOKYO, Oct. 12 - Nine people were found dead on Tuesday in two rented cars with the windows sealed and charcoal burners at their feet in pacts that the police said were facilitated by Internet suicide sites.

The police said that in the first car, a minivan that had been rented for the day, they found seven bodies, including teenagers and a 33-year-old woman who had left a note for her children. Parked on a mountain road in a Tokyo suburb, the gray van had been wrapped in blue plastic sheets with the windows taped closed. Inside, the woman's body was in the driver's seat, and there were three bodies on each of the van bench seats. All were believed to have died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

"Mother is going to die, but I was happy that I could give birth to you," said a note found next to the driver, according to Kyodo News. An empty package of sleeping pills was found near the van.

The group may have come together through a suicide message board on the Internet, Japanese news media quoted the police as saying. Japan has a suicide rate about twice the rate of the United States, and there are Web sites where people discuss suicide and suicide techniques. Some Web sites even sell kits offering "painless" suicide.

Using a cellphone, one of the seven in the van e-mailed a friend in northern Japan on Monday evening, giving the approximate location of the van, a police spokesman for Saitama, a Tokyo suburb, told Agence France-Presse. All the van's occupants were dead by the time the police arrived, just after dawn.

At almost the same time Tuesday morning, outside a temple in Yokusuka, about 75 miles to the south, the police found a rented car containing the bodies of two women, ages 21 and 27. They apparently had also asphyxiated themselves by burning charcoal in two stoves in the car. The police told Kyodo News that the two lived about 25 miles apart and had also apparently met through the Internet.

"This is not murder,'' read a message found in the women's car, according to Agence France-Presse. "We planned this." The police have asked Internet service providers to report information about chat group participants who post suicide plans on the Web, but the directive is believed to be largely ignored.

Last year, Japan reported a record 34,427 cases of suicide, a slight increase over previous years. From January 2003 to June 2004, 45 people committed suicide in groups after meeting through the Internet, according to the National Police Agency. In one case last month, four young people were found dead after burning charcoal in a car parked three miles from where the van was found Tuesday.

True. One can only have so much sympathy for Adults like this.

Not sure if it's really sad. It's just nature clensing itself. Life belongs only to those who want it.

SpikeHeel · 10-13-2004, 02:15 AM

If 45 people committed suicide in groups after meeting through the Internet in a year and a hlaf, what makes this such a big story?

Vitasoy · 10-13-2004, 03:33 AM

Damn, that is sooo sad.

Sounds like straight out of a movie

Weird Japanese, hari kiri

Japan is the best case of modern slaverly in a rich country.

Drilled to be the best since pre kindergarden age till university and after that a full day job with almost no holiday, well paid but you don't do much beside doing your job (the average salary man works all day, on weekends too).

Almost nobody opens their own business there, everybody is bred to be employed and that's their mentality too.

I don't wonder why so many people commit suicide there.

Have you ever been in Japan? I spend 3-4 months a year there and I know plenty of people that have their own businesses... big and small. In the last 10 years a lot of things changed and especially many younger people have different goals in life now.

Of course, their system/society is not perfect but which one is?

Also, Japanese have about as many leave days paid as people in the US and they have a lot of national holidays on top (even more than we have in Germany and we have a lot).

This sounds strangely similar to the Japanese horror movie Suicide Club.

Japanese salary men have max. 2 weeks holidays per year normally 1 or less and working 7 days a week.The companies give you holiday days but they don't expect you to use any of them and nobody does use many.

There are small and middle sized businesses but compared to europe that are very less.Most belong to chains or bigger companies and it's almost impossible to get a loan to start your own business.

Japanese society is one of the worst worldwide, all focused on performance and being the best from pre kindergarden age till university and after school on working all day.
