Japan has one of the highest rates of suicides in the developed world.Aokigahara forest has a tragic reputation in Japan and internationally for the people who want to kill themselves.Data on the number of suicides in the Aokigahara forest are not made public in order to prevent the attention of people towards the site.

Logan Paul uploaded a 15-minute video in which he and his friends visit the forest to focus on the “haunted” aspect of the place, as stated by him.After walking a short distance into the forest the group comes across a body.Logan Paul shows the body from several angles in this video, where only the face is blurred out.A member of the group is heard remarking that he “doesn’t feel good”, to which Logan Paul replies“What, you never stand next to a dead guy?”, after which he starts laughing.The identity of the deceased man is still not known.

Dear @LoganPaul,

How dare you! You disgust me. I can't believe that so many young people look up to you. So sad. Hopefully this latest video woke them up. You are pure trash. Plain and simple. Suicide is not a joke. Go rot in hell.
