Japanese man found dead inside car

SAMUT SAKHON: -- A Japanese man was found suffocated inside a rented car in what police believed to be a suicide.

Police were alerted to check the car at 5:30 pm after witnesses saw it parked under a motorist flyover in Samut Sakhon's Muang district since 4 am on Sunday.

Pol Lt col Atthachai Nopphakdee of Tambon Bangthorad police station said police found the body of Hara Akihisa, 48, inside the car whose doors were locked.

The car key was found on the front seat near the man and police also found a tray, where mosquito-repellent sticks had been burnt, inside the car.

Atthachai said the man appeared to die of suffocation after lighting the sticks inside the car.

A record of the car renting showed that he had rented it on Saturday.

The body was sent for an autopsy at the Police's Forensic Medicine Institute.

If you parked under a flyover in Bangkok for long enough you wouldn't need to buy mosquito repellant sticks to create the lethal fumes. Sad, but it sometimes seems that Thailand is becoming the suicide hub of Asia.

Totally true ... There are some weird things in the Jap's minds going on. Ever heard of the many teen's that don't get out of their rooms for years ?! ... there is even a special, Japanese related, name for it ...

Yes, indeed. The foreigners buy a ticket to commit suicide in Thailand, it seems ...

My condolences to his family and friends. What was he doing in Thailand? Did he work here? Did he have family?

You obviously read only that ... "As many as a million Japanese—most of them young men—are considered shut-ins, either literally cloistered in their rooms or refusing to work and avoiding all social contact for periods ranging from six months to more than 10 years. Forty-one percent live reclusively for one to five years, according to a government survey." Only one example of the strange self-employed emprisonment. Source ... Google

As far as Japanese suicide numbers ... In Europe Litvia has the biggest suicide number : 44 per 100.000 citizens (E.U.report, dated october 14th 2005). 35.8 per 100.000 in Japan (WHO, 1996). You'd better live in Jordan, they've got one of the least.

So ... Did we lie, or are you Japanese ? ...
