Back by popular demand, Igor returns to the macabre watch of self-inflicted death in the land of digi-cams and Hello Kitty vibrators. Today’s group suicide took place in a van on a forest road of (shiver) Saitama.

Five men and a woman, all in their 20s took their final journey via the charcoal brickette road. Using little brickette burners to slowly up the carbon monoxide levels and remove the oxygen, the group essentially gassed themselves.

One thing that caught my attention was that only four stoves were in the car and that the woman was wedged between two men in the front seat. Four rather than five? Is it etiquette for men to bring the stoves, logistics with stove placement, or was there something else going on here.

Many of these group suicides tend to be male dominated so the single woman of the group doesn’t seem amiss, but I do wonder sometimes if there may be a final foul play. Something to consider as there was one man who pretended that he wanted to commit suicide with women online, then wound up killing the would be suicidal lady. Charming…
