Logan Paul Outrage: YouTuber Draws Criticism With Video Showing Apparent Suicide Victim, Apology
Logan Paul is receiving widespread criticism for uploading a video that showed the Internet star stumbling upon an apparent suicide victim in Japan's Aokigahara forest, which is known for its horrific historical reputation as a popular suicide site.
The video was uploaded on Dec. 31, 2017 to his 15-million-plus subscriber channel, before being removed by the 22-year-old upon less than a day later. In the now-removed vlog, Paul and friends stumbled upon what appears to be the hanging body of man. Per BBC , the video only blurred only the victim's face (leaving other body parts to be distinguished and possibly identified) with Paul asking one of his companions,"What, you never stand next to a dead guy?" and laughing.
