Youtuber Logan Paul has found himself in hot water after a video he uploaded to Youtube showed him stumbling upon a suicide victim.
The video in question was filmed during Paul’s trip to Japan in a forest known as Aokigahara which sits at the base of Mount Fuji. However, this forest is also known as the “Suicide Forest” due to the high number of self-inflicted deaths caused here.
According to Japanese police records, in 2010 a staggering 247 people attempted suicide here, with 54 successfully going through with the act.
Logan Paul has officially apologized for the video on Twitter this evening. In his statement, Paul explains that he has never faced criticism like this before and claims that he didn’t release the video for views.
He continues and states that he simply wanted to raise awareness about suicide and suicide prevention.
