A girl has leapt to her death live on video streaming site Stickam, disappearing off her balcony and into the night sky in a broadcast which later showed police arriving and exchanging off-colour remarks…
The girl, known as “mextli,” was apparently of Okinawan extraction and living in Aichi prefecture. She had a history of “cutting” and similar extreme behaviour, also broadcast live.
For whatever reasons she decided to kill herself by leaping from her fourth storey residence, which she broadcast live to the world.
The actual scene of the girl leaping from the balcony and to her doom, her screaming clearly audible, is perhaps best left to the imagination (the footage and her profile soon disappeared). She apparently lingered for some time after the fall, heavily injured.
However, the scene of police and ambulance personnel arriving is visible below – one of the officers arriving at the scene makes a tasteless remark about going to see her in hospital if she is cute, unaware that he was being broadcast to the world…
The words remaining on her feed are “Well, let’s play the game of life and death.”
The morbid facts of the case were circulating in threads on 2ch within mere minutes of the incident.
Stickam has previously attracted notoriety for its management connections to adult sites, and in one particularly sordid episode a privileged user residing in Arizona actually raped a woman he had drugged live on the service – he was later arrested.
Coming so soon after the furore over a girl who mutilated herself live on NicoNico Douga, it does indeed seem that absolutely anything can be seen on live streaming sites…

Suicide is the worst way to end your life. What's even worse are people rummaging through your stuff once you've removed yourself from existence. I wouldn't wanna die knowing someone will find my stash of porn and other illegal stuff I collected in my lifetime!
thats just wrong killing you self o the net
it was the death note i tells you ... THE DEATH NOTE!
Crazy to think such a cute girl would want to kill herself.
I got to agree with you there. Kinda sad. Oh well maybe they'll lend me the corpse for a few hours.
There are 6 Billion people in this planet. Right now, thousands out there in Africa is dying of hunger. Doesn't really make a much of a difference if she dies. Lol. She's not even someone that important of a person. Just a bloody attention seeker who wants the spotlight even at her death. Just another of the fucking emo out there. Anyways, those who take lives or throw away their own deserves the least of out pity.
Ignoring air resistance, the terminal velocity when she reaches the ground would be about 40-45km/hr(or 25-28mph), which is actually quite survivable. It's more like a self-torturing act(read: being emo) than a genuine suicide.
She got Death-Noted.
This is creepy as fuck creepier then penis loss
i mean creepy so creepy my neck hair is standing up and my spine is shivering.
"Coming so soon after the furore over a girl who mutilated herself live on NicoNico Douga, it does indeed seem that absolutely anything can be seen on live streaming sites…"
Only in Japan.
It's time for China to end what the Americans have once started.
>>Only in Japan.
brandon vedas would like to have a word with you
hmmmm I thought of chaos head when watching that.
Killing yourself is stupid and selfish. Those people only think of their pain and their problems but don't think of the trouble this will cause to everybody, and the pain they'll cause to the people that love them.
I wouldn't mind dying since life is pretty useless and I've been depressed for years but I know that suicide is a pretty bad option. If I killed myself I would only make more people depressed. The only thing that I may kill myself over is if I had to do prison for something major, and I don't think this will ever happen.
Good for you. You have people who will miss you. Not every depressed person does.
I knew this girl, guys. (I'm not trolling)
I'm seriously hurt by this. You all don't understand how intelligent she was... she spoke English and was a fantastic artist. Her mind just ... she could not handle the world. She was depressed.
This world that we are experiencing right now... sometimes its too much for those that think above most. You all don't realize the situation you are all in... consciousness, being alive, competing for food and sex....lol
I'm so hurt by this. I need to go now, so that I may remain sane
How many of you have lost a friend? Rest in peace, sweety... if only I could have helped...
sometimes you can help people and talk them out of it, sometimes, you can't. if they really wanted to die, they wouldn't reach out to anyone. attention or otherwise, it's all null and void now. the world will go keep turning except for the ones who knew her personally and those that loved her for who she was. it may be harsh but it's the truth.
poeple fail to save those they wish they could have all the time. you can't go back and change it. you can't go back and stop yourself if you egged them on or didnt realize it. time and time again, it's been proven that society as a whole are insensitive unless the situation is dead in their faces, even if they see it coming a mile away. attention or otherwise, that proves how many people will take soemthing from her suicide
anyone know if a mirrored version was kept somewhere?
if she really wants even more attentions she should jump NAKED(what a waste she looks cute) in the video maybe someday we can see a suicide that a naked couple jumping while having SEX
Hope she didn't end up like hero in Ningen Shikkaku, i.e. survived with only wish to make another attempt.
this girl was a friend of one of my dear friend bro,man she was oone of his greatest friends.
Mental health professionals in Japan have long known that the reason for the unnecessarily high suicide rate in Japan is due to unemployment, bankruptcies, and the increasing levels of stress on businessmen and other salaried workers who have suffered enormous hardship in Japan since the fallout of the bursting of the stock market bubble here that peaked around 1997. Until that year Japan had annual suicide of rate figures between 22,000 and 24,000 each year. Following the bursting of the stock market and the long term economic downturn that has followed here since the suicide rate in 1998 increased by around 35% and since 1998 the number of people killing themselves each year in Japan has consistently remained well over 30,000 each and every year to the present day.
The current worldwide recession is of course impacting Japan too, so unless the new administration initiates very proactive and well funded local and nationwide suicide prevention programs and other mental health care initiatives, including tackling the widespread problem of clinical depression suffered by so many of the general population, it is very difficult to foresee the previous government's stated target to reduce the suicide rate to around 23,000 by the year 2016 as being achievable. On the contrary the numbers, and the human suffering and the depression and misery that the people who become part of these numbers, have to endure may well stay at the current levels that have persistently been the case here for the last ten years. It could even get worse unless even more is done to prevent this terrible loss of life.
During these last ten years of these relentlessly high annual suicide rate numbers the English media seems in the main to have done little more than have someone goes through the files and do a story on the so-called suicide forest or internet suicide clubs and copycat suicides (whether cheap heating fuel like charcoal briquettes or even cheaper household cleaning chemicals) and mirrors at stations, and now lights at stations, without focusing on the bigger picture and need for effective action and solutions.
Economic hardship, bankruptcies and unemployment have been the main cause of suicide in Japan over the last 10 years, as the well detailed reports behind the suicide rate numbers that have been issued every year until now by the National Police Agency in Japan show only to clearly if any journalist is prepared to learn Japanese or get a bilingual researcher to do the research to get to the real heart of the tragic story of the long term and unnecessarily high suicide rate problem in Japan.
I would also like to suggest that as many Japanese people have very high reading skills in English that any articles dealing with suicide in Japan could usefully provide contact details for hotlines and support services for people who are depressed and feeling suicidal.
Useful telephone numbers and links for Japanese residents of Japan who speak Japanese and are feeling depressed or suicidal:

These comments = kids talking about things they don't know.
Anon above = troll.
Sono me, dare no me.....
reminds us all of.....
^^ Clearly the netziens of 2ch have gone over the blue....
@18:11
This is Japanese for "this eye, who's eye is it?".
You are not making any sense. Dare what? To kill yourself?
I was refering to a good anime with tons of murders, broadcasted suicides, hallucinations and girls.... plenty!
If you know what I am talking about then try comparing the anime with this event.... apparently even if the setting is off (the anime's plot happened in Shibuya) it really disturbingly reminds me of that....
Broadcasting a suicide on the Internet seems like it's just a lesson to tell us all...
"Suicide is painful so don't do it. Ever! It does not gurantee a one-shot kill. You will writhe in pain and curled up on the ground like a sick little ballsack. Don't be a fail and commit suicide!"
Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors.
she was on them, guaranteed.
What's so bad about the cop saying he'd visit her in the hospital if she was cute? If she had survived, she would've finally had someone to talk to about her problems rather than jump off buildings.
You all probably would've said something similar anyway.
So wheres the actual video of her falling?
2ch sure get news fast. i wonder when they will become an organized otakus pmc with extreme surveillance intel.
It has already begun.
is there any proof she's actually dead? 4 stories is borderline, but Japanese houses are like 7 feet a story, lol
I got so busy ranting that I forgot I was thinking of pointing this out. You can survive a fall from higher, but If she fell on her head and on concrete...
Plus, if the officer wanted to go to the hospital to see if she was hot, doesn't that mean she survived?
I doubt he'd want to check up on a corpse and they keep those in the morgue anyway...
It is being reported as "suicide" and not "attempted suicide," but there is no clear confirmation she is dead. Police did find her will/note, but she apparently lingered screaming, so survival is not impossible.
i read on a blog that the girl who mutilated herself live on NicoNico Douga confessed that it was fake.
Is attempted suicide a crime in Japan?
yes. and the punishment is death.
Sad news... Just in time I finished watching bokurano... I'm seeing life in a different perspective now...
uninstall uninstall uninstall uninstall uninstall uninstall uninstall uninstall uninstall uninstall
oh noes. I have already recovered from this LSS 2 years ago, but you just reminded me of it.
Wow i'm feeling so sad now, must be my empathy day. Guess it's time for me to leave the internet for a few hours for my own sake.
Good riddance.
Suicides should be encouraged to solve the problem of overpopulation.
If there are talentless, useless inbred retards hanging around and being not satisfied being alive, there are also talented kids in orphanages and children's homes who just wait for the opportunity to live.
No reason to keep such ungrateful bastards around.
What about the talented, well-bred geniuses that just happened to off themselves for one reason or another, or the kid's that are in homes BECAUSE they are talentless and inbred?
uh get help
No, the solution to overpopulation is through nukes, lots of them.
Indeed, we should all just randomly nuke ourselves. -_-
Your theory fails, because people with higher education are known to be far more prone to suicide than people with high school or lower.
And suicide doesn't help overpopulation one bit. Compare the number of suicides to the number of births and you will see how statistically insignificant it is.
Not everyone should live.
Her choice.
It's a very poor choice through.
maybe she'll change her mind.
15 secs of fame turned into 4 secs of *AIIIIEEEEE thud*
40 feet, officer commenting seeing her in the hospital...she probably lived.
Such a sad waste of life
*irony*
aye, at least use a HD cam and better lighting or nightvision.
also a script which uploads the whole thing to multiple free filehoster + announcement posts in boards would also be an improvement for this kind of attention suicide...
*/irony*
somebody had to be recording the actual jump!
natural selection or just stupidity. you decide...
ahhhh internet you continue to perplex me.
both, actually
Undesirable genes have a way of dissapearing from the gene pool. Fact of life.
Not everyone's grow (at least to an extent that they need to be extracted).
Then explain the persistence of wisdom teeth.
It takes a while for those genes to completely disappear.
Natural selection doesn't work on case-by-case basis. It takes a trend in a big sample of organisms to call it natural selection.
Excessive pressure from society is the cause of nearly all suicides these days. Not everyone is lucky to have a circle of good friends and/or family who would notice and try to help them through depression.
We don't all have equal opportunity when we are born, so don't go applying your standards on every single person.
In before "lol ur emo".
lol ur emo.
No seriously, I can understand if she was in depression or something, but I cannot understand her urge to show everyone how pitiful she was. It is like, oh I am so pitiful I even go suicide, now watch me do it and pity my life.
Too bad for her, I don't even feel a thing.
That is the most ridiculous fairy tale stereotype ever. You have to be insane to expect that a prince will come and make everything better. There isn't enough prices to go around...
I can scream out for a brifcase full of cash to fall from the sky on my lap but that won't happen either.
I believe that what Fonzer meant is that she was desperately screaming to help to whoever would hear her, which apparently didn't happen.
Depression is a scary thing and it makes people completely irrational. You can't expect someone who is willing to jump off a building to think completely rational.
yes anon 10:53,when that kind of depression hits you,you can't think normaly and you may do strange things.Sometimes such things can be seen and helped.
it's a form of expression she was screaming out for a prince to save her,there was no prince that could find her nor did she know how to deal with herself.
What is it that japanese girls find in gravity so attractive?
usually t5rains, aint it?
Haha not funny
Suicide is the national sport in Japan, as getting drunk is the national hobbie in USA.
Great Peter Griffin quote, you made my day. I still want to see the video of the actual falling ^_^
Suicide definately is the national sport in Japan (popular rules including jumping in front of trains), but drinking is more likely to be Ireland and Russia's national sport, rather than USAs. USA's would be eating.
Didn't you know Ireland has more drunks per capita than people?
Actually the USA's national sport would be shooting things.
Eating would be Micronesia's past time.
I've seen far more drunkenness in Japan than in America. I've seen people debilitatingly drunk at 6:00 PM in nice restaurants, rolling on the ground fucked up. Then their friends have pick them up after the restaurant staff tells them to leave. Not to mention loads of stumbling girls wasted at noon, and salary men sloshed and lost. Americans usually get fucked up in bars late at night then go home. Japanese people though like to go on drunk exploration walking adventures, vomiting along the way. Some are mean drunks though trying to fight me because i'm "gaijin", i'm not big (5'10 around 178cm) but these are some small people (around 5'3-5'6) so I try to avoid fighting them but it has happened (they usually are to drunk to even throw a good punch, so it's pretty pathetic). With that said the U.S. isn't known for drunkenness, it's known for arrogant fat people (a sweeping generalisation). -Asada
Getting drunk is for the british
Yeah the hobby for the USA is eating.
lol, why so serious
Internet's been double-edged sword. So is all tech. hmm @ this, however...
A double edged sword? It's just a sword but with two blades instead of one.
That said, for every sad case like this, there will certainly be somebody who will make a live session of something nice, e.g. double sided dildo action with HAWT LESBIAN SECKS.
Internet is like life - it's what you make of it.
I'll agree with this statement. There will always be tragedies (but there will be positive events as well)
Chaos;head LIVE-ACTION!
>> A double edged sword? It's just a sword but with two blades instead of one.
Uhm... You _DO_ know what the meaning of a double-edged sword is, right?
It's two edges, not blades. If it was the latter, it would have been called a double-bladed sword or something.
A quadro-edged sword. Probably makes more sense to the handicapped.
A single blade would mean when you swing it and it hits something that blade would hurt it, on the momentum back or perhaps by accident a double edged sword could come back and hit you and hurt you. Which is why they say double edged sword.
Anyway I have a feeling Japan has a high rate of this stuff, with their high rent, high education jobs, and high level of sexual perversion. I'm surprised there's not more of this.
Or perhaps the HANDLE is also a blade!!? that would hurt
Correction, lowest *reported* in the world, which in a shame-oriented culture doesn't mean much. When you have to construct female only trains to prevent groping, maybe it's juts a tad obvious that there IS a problem with sexual perversion.
I don't see what "sexual perversion" has to do with any of this. Perversion is subjective, as it has to do with your own perception of what is considered out of the norm, and if you meant sexual crimes, then Japan has some of the lowest in the world.
Then again, sex is evil.
I don't think you understand what the double edged sword implies. As a sword with two blades doesn't make any sense at all when in this situation, and would be incredibly stupid to actually make...
Double edged woule mean that even if it is awesome tecnology, you can still cut yourself on it, as there will be one sharp edge facing you either way.
and yet retards exist, if you ask any antique sword dealer.
besides, whats so hard to understand? your reasoning is silly. the analogy implies something in "dangerous" in both directions (i.e. a double edged sword), simple as that. it doesn't mean you grabbed the internet and cut your own arm off with it, the physical nature of the use of a double edged sword is moot.
it would be more accurate, if you insist on looking at it from a sword utility standpoint, to say the analogy implies that you can cut with one edge (which is the supposed "good use" edge). but other people will come along and cut with the other edge (the "bad use" edge). thus something that can be used good or bad is "double edged".
now if you respond "but swords don't have a good edge or a bad edge", i will ignore you, consider you stupid, and assume you have no clue what an analogy is.
Try this one, "Live by the sword ,die by the sword."
That should keep you busy for a while.
If you get done with that one too quick try "A stitch, in time, saves nine."
"A stitch, in time, saves nine."
Is that a sci-fi reference?
It's a proverb originating from knitting I believe, it means something along the lines of "If you do it right the first time, you won't have to do even more work just to fix it"
I never got the whole double edged sword saying myself. I mean I know what it implies but most straight bladed swords of the middle ages were double edged and they didn't have problems using them. You have to be a retard to cut yourself on your own sword.
Yeah. Stuff like this will keep happening, for every idiot killing himself a new one is born.
Oh well, there is much more interesting content.
I wonder how many lolis are masturbating in front of a webcam right now... ^_^
After death there is nothing more but what you have given to the world. In this case it's a video of her suicide and catching a cop make a stupid remark live on the interwebs. Life = 9/10 depressing shit 1/10 joy. If you can't live with it and shrug it off I guess suicide was a decent way to get out of the pain she saw herself in... on that note perception of reality > reality itself. She was probably perceiving her life as a nightmare and knew no one to help her so shame on you people who know her =p And cop that's a +1 for that comment *We need someone to figure out what happens after that comment*. Quick someone find the officers name and send the video to his wife *if he has one*.
You, sir, are made of win.
when im sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead.
^There's a tasteless remark right there. If she would do this for attention, she clearly needed help.
Unfortunately, she was probably around ppl (like you) that didn't take her seriously...
meh...attention whore at its best
Why say "attention whore" when one can't enjoy the attention after death?
I knew this girl personally, asshole. She was a lot smarter than most of you and spoke decent English. She was also an artist
Don't blame me for not seeing the warning signs. Sometimes, people hide their despair.
Wow the internet sure is useful! O_O
Wait... How old was she? Jw...
Shouldn't we be happy the idiots kills themselves so that the average intelligence of the world increase slightly?
Many of you dont understand, majority of people who kill themselves are generally depressed in one way or another.
theyre not sane like a normal person, theyre as in the people who are depressed, its like a black shroud covering your real life
