Outcry as YouTube Star Posts Video of Dead Body in Japan

Popular YouTuber Logan Paul is under fire for traveling to Aokigahara forest and making light of a dead body that he and his friends encountered there. The location, also known as the “Sea of Trees,” is a spot at the bottom of Mount Fuji where many go to commit suicide.



Their video showed the body of a man, whose identity is unknown, from several angles but blurs his face. A member of the group is heard remarking that he “doesn’t feel good”. Paul replies: “What, you never stand next to a dead guy?” and then laughs. The exchange, and the decision to upload images of the victim, prompted a wave of criticism online.
