Apparent suicide near Kitakyushu: https://gizmodo.com/police-find-human-body-parts-in-crack-in-japanese-bulle-1826863520

Uggh, that scene has to be something you can't unsee.

Not the first time this has happened. Couple of incidents I remember from the last 10 years or so - one guy was so determined to die he climbed several fences to get hit, where body parts hit the conventional speed Tokaido Line train running beneath. Another was at a station, a former railroad employee familiar with the schedules, so he picked which train to get hit by (500 Series).

The profession of the 52 year old who allegedly took his own life: lawyer. Let the snarky comments commence.
