Shiga Prefecture 3rd Year Junior High Student's Bloodcurdling 3 Minute "Suicide Stream" (1)

2013/12/5 09:54

In the early morning of November 24th, a female 3rd year junior high school student jumped from the 13th floor of her home, and took her own life. Astonishingly, she streamed her own last moments on a video sharing site. She left this world leaving behind the words, "I want to be a legend". After searching for a place to belong in the world of the internet, and became popular like an idol, what did the girl think. We will find out about the truth of her death, that even her family and best friend did not know.

The woman who found her recalls, "Right as I was about to enter the mansion to deliver some newspapers, a girl was on the ground, with the lights on the entrance shining down on her. I rushed towards her, her left hand laying limp on the ground, she must’ve fell from the head, since she had her left hand under her face, as if she was trying to hold back the pain. However, there was no brain matter spilled all over from the impact, she was clean. Beside her was a face mask, and one of her shoes was there too, and when I touched her foot, it was still warm so I immediately called 110. "

Note- In Japan, there are 2 emergency numbers. 110 is for the police, 119 is for an ambulance. She must’ve looked pretty dead despite being warm for the woman to call the police rather than the ambulance....


On November 24th, around 3:55 AM, inside the property of a mansion in Shiga prefecture, Oumi Hachiman shi, was a 3rd year junior high student girl, Child A, who lived there. About 5 minutes after they were called, the police arrived, and a female police officer did some chest compressions/CPR, called to her, continuously asking “are you okay”, but she never responded and her heart and lungs had stopped due to cardiopulmonary edema. The fire department explains what happened.


"We put her in an ambulance on 4:21 AM, and brought her to a hospital in the city, but her death was confirmed 3 hours later. On the emergency stairway between the 13th and 14th floor, a trash can from the girl's house was found, and it is thought she used it to climb over the 1.4 m wall."

Note- 1.4m= 4 feet and 7 inches


Child A lived with her younger brother, and both her parents. Due to their daughter's sudden death, the Mother is said to have looked completely worn out and thin. However, there was no suicide note to be found, and there was no evidence of bullying, so the cause of her death remains unknown.


Then, the case takes a turn in the evening. On the internet, there were multiple posts asking "was "that" live stream actually real?". What had happened?


A local news reporter states,

"Actually, there was a junior high schooler who was a popular internet idol. She used her smartphone to stream around the same time as Child A's death, and live streamed her suicide. With the shocking sight, the comments were filled with viewers worrying about her. Despite there being comments such as "Where are you going, it's really late", "It'll hurt a lot if you fell", trying to stop her, she would reply "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" over and over, and then proceeded to jump. The viewers who at first doubted if this was real, heard the news, realized that Child A and this internet idol were the same person, and then the story spread."


When we received the video of her, it contained 3 minuted of her last, bloodcurdling struggle.
