Wow, he really wanted to make a spectacle out of his suicide. Hope not too many children got permanently scarred from seeing that. |

Just adding lil background info on the suicide from the Tokyo Reporter: TOKYO (TR) – A man hanged himself from a pedestrian bridge in front of a busy exit of JR Shinjuku Station on Monday in an apparent suicide, police said, reports the Sankei Shimbun (Jan. 6). At around 12:15, police were tipped off by a pedestrian about “a young man man hanged by a scarf from a pedestrian bridge” at the South Exit of the station. The man, aged in his 30s, was transported to a hospital in a state of cardiac arrest. He was later confirmed dead, the Shinjuku Police Station. According to police, the man, who suffered from a mental disability, ate a meal with an acquaintance just prior to the incident. He then said to the acquaintance, “I will now die.” In June, 2014, a man apparently protesting Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s plans to revise the country’s pacifist constitution set himself on fire at the same location. He survived the incident. Known as the Mylord Deck, the bridge, which spans Koshu Kaido street, leads to the Shinjuku Mylord shopping mall at the station. Thank you Simone for the post & photos....as always, awesome job! |

If you drop from a height the momentum can tear your head off. Used to happen when they hung prisoners with a drop bottom. If you're simply hanging your head won't detach. |
