Desperate Japanese head to 'suicide forest' with stunning views of Mount Fuji, also known as place to die

Suicide is second to only accidental death as the leading cause of mortality in young men across the world. High-lethality methods of suicide are preferred by young men: hanging and firearms in high-income countries, pesticide poisoning in the Indian subcontinent, and charcoal-burning in east Asia (Lancet, 2012).

From CNN:

Suicides in Japan were 15 percent higher in January 2009 than a year earlier. Japan's suicide rate, already one of the world's highest, has increased with the recent economic downturn.
