A prisoner has committed suicide by thrusting chopsticks into his own eyes.
Guards at a Chiba prison discovered a 49-year-old prisoner being held in solitary confinement lying dead on his futon in the middle of the night, two chopsticks protruding from his eyes.
He was quickly taken to hospital, but had already expired. Doctors declared the cause of death to be penetration of the chopsticks into his brain.
The lacquered wooden chopsticks used were his own, and would have likely tapered to a fine point in the Japanese style.
Guards checked each cell every 20 minutes, but nothing amiss was noted in the check immediately prior to him being discovered dead.
He was convicted of armed robbery and murder for beating the manager of a gas station to death with an iron pipe in an armed robbery committed in 1992, making off with $60,000 in cash. There were doubts about his sanity, but courts ruled him responsible and convicted him.
However, a psychiatric evaluation in 1994 apparently found him to be non compos mentis and thus unfit to stand trial, but he was kept in prison anyway, having served a total of 16 years at the time of his death.
Police are working under the assumption he committed suicide, saying there was no evidence anyone entered the cell.

That gave me the chills just imagining the scene.
I'd rather bite my tongue and bleed to death.
How about a magic trick?
I'm gonna make these chopsticks disappear...
Death by Chopsticks its a whole new meaning.
I can't help but recall this after reading about utensils in eyes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c53-JMOKBzw
That is GROSS!
I can't believe they give inmates chopsticks in the first place.
oh well hopefully his forgiven in the afterlife.
so prison people play Mortal Kombat, too...
Man. Someone died and you guys making jokes out of his death. What the world has gotton into now?
Oh, sry. This is sankakucomplex where sanity doesn't exist.
There's no insanity without sanity in it.
Well, this is the internet. Most people don't display sanity while online.
Welcome. I see you're a bit new to the internet.
One word for this method: OUCH!
Holy fuck, that shit is out of some Hellraiser movie
Violent criminals must die to keep the rest of the population safe, no exception.
OMG UR KIRA!!!!
How coould anyone bring themselves to do that?
I don't even like people touching their eyes...urgh.
next item on the no fly list, chopsticks.
He coulda just killed himself with not eating anything for 3 days
The problem with that is that the guards would just subdue him, take him to the medical ward, and given him a nutrient saline mixture until he was dubbed no longer suicidal. At least that's how it works in the states.
I don't think I would be able to use chopsticks to commit suicide... So he gets bonus points!
What a way to go... He mustve been making a POINT! Lol.
I guess you could say this man *puts on sunglasses* got the point. YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
16 years in solitary that would be drive anyone mad having someone thrown to a bunch of rabid pitbulls for exicution would be far less cruel.
I agree. Solitary confinement is supposed to be for SHORT PERIODS, not long periods. Otherwise, it is known to drive people insane or near insane!
Even in the United States, you are not allowed to put someone in solitary for longer than I think it was 3 months without a very good justification and permission from the warden.
maybe his soul is in hell being tormented by devils haha
$60,000 in cash from a gas station!?!?! that's a hell of a lot of money to have on hand
The action of penetrating or even major damage to the eyes isn't enough to kill someone. So he must have hit an brain artery and the brain died from lack of oxygen.
Shinigami Chopstick! Shinigami-sama's chopstick should never be touch or use for any purpose or death is upon you.
Shinigami Chop!
Maka chop!
Crap! Hell of a way to commit suicide! I think of doing it that way, and I'm like "Stick this into my eye and into my brain to kill myself? Not enough 'balls of titanium' for that!"
At least now he won't leave the prison and continue to do crimes.
You never know if a murderer is 'okay' after leaving prison. After all, after spending (i dunno) like 30 years in prison he's got no money, no job, no family, no house, what else can he do but to go and rob/murder someone again?
Murderers should get life sentences/death sentences if their murder was brutal (like here, beating with an iron pipe) AND if they show signs of insanity in my opinion, otherwise they'll just leave prison after some time and murder more.
Unless they kill themselves while being imprisoned.
I didn't know you could reach the brain through the orbit with chopsticks... wouldn't it have been easier and simpler through the ears?? I suspect murder... can your brain RLY send the signal to your hands to keep pushing the chopsticks in the eye socket without stopping?? That would have to be most suicidal brain ever...
You've never heard of Walter Freeman and his transorbital lobotomy procedure. It's true this guy had guts and courage to keep going after feeling the intense pain of gouging his eyes.
I didn't read the article word for word but if I were to do this, I'd hold the chopsticks to my eyes then just slam my head down onto something hard. Then the chopsticks, or solid object, would continue in regardless of what your hands were doing.
He probably saw something so disgusting that night.., possibly the big ugly obese cell guard was playing striptease on him..
Nah, he just found out that his wife was actually his mother.
Oedipus
So *that's* why he gouged out his eyes!
Damn what away to go
Dude is a badass
No doubt it was a painful death.
He saw it come
Reminds me of the Jokers pencil trick, from the Dark Knight.
He wanted to practice that magic trick and couldn't find anyone willing to try it out...
His "disappearing chopsticks" trick leaves much to be desired though.
Not your everyday suicide
transorbital lobotomy failed?!
Chopsticks are mightier than the sword.. or something like that. I say he was murdered. I mean.. both sticks in the eye? Sounds like "he ran in my knife.. 46 times".
And it´s not easy to run into 2 chopsticks at the same time.
It might be easier than you think. Just aim them until you see only one chopstick, then stab in the other too.
He sure got his eyes on those chopsticks...
Kinda shocking they'd let a person with a sharp object in solitary confinement. I hope they learned something from this.
he certainly loved shashliks
That's some batshit insane stunt!
He wanted to replace his pupils with chopsticks. That would look kinda eerie to me now that I think about it.
Trust me, this guy wanted to be a zombie. He was already trying to eat some brains. At least he's well mannered.
A creatively painful way to go...
16 years in solitary confinement...His sanity was long gone before he killed himself...
Poor man...Well, I hope he gets lucky in his next life...
Actually, I doubt it was painful. Piercing the eye ball shouldn't hurt and brain doesn't feel pain. Maybe hitting the eye muscles on the way but even then it seems doubtful that it would hurt much.
He was soft in the head and thought something hard might help.
There is absolutely NO next life, MORON!

You seek rapture and oblivion..?
Either way...
See you in Silent Gensokyo, friend...

Do you notice you have religious levels of non-religiousness? In other words, you're also a fanatic over your beliefs.
I think in the US the time limit on solitary is supposed to be 45 days.
What is it that keeps reminding me of someone committing suicide with chopsticks up the nose? I know I've seen that somewhere...
must've been a movie
There is nothing after death. No afterlife, no hell, no heaven. It is only nothingness.
Ah if only that were true.
That's true until it is proven false, but well, I doubt you wish to prove it so soon, leave that to robbers and loli rapers.
poor man ? he killed some guy with iron pipe , he got what he deserved .
@Dirty_Dingus008
Just replace the knife with chopsticks:
http://silenthill.wikia.com/wiki/Mumbler
The man found an exit, and he took it...
He has been punished, he has suffered, he has now left this mortal coil...Judge him not and leave his fate to the Great Beyond...
If it helps you accept, pretend he is the next 'iron-pipe' wielding sinful protagonist of "Silent Hill: Chiba" fending off a demonic, gas-station manager wearing a pyramid helmet and equipped with a pair of gigantic, flaming, metal chopsticks...
It'll be like that scene in FLCL with all them kids will chopsticks in the DARK!
poor man? you say that now that he's died, but when he robbed and beat the manager of the gas station to death with an iron pipe, I bet you wanted his ass in prison to suffer.
Indeed. The article mentions that he was, at the time, being held in solitary confinement and that he had served a total of 16 years in jail. They are not the same. He was simply in solitary confinement at the time of death. The time he spent in solitary confinement is not mentioned.
where in the article did it say that?
"He has been in Solitary Confinement for SIXTEEN YEARS!!!!!!"
isn't solitary confinement like the prison within the prison? you can thrown there for shit you do inside, which is probably what the guy did so he got thrown there.
in short, he was imprisoned for SIXTEEN YEARS but most probably wasn't in solitary confinement all that time.
"getting chased by a pyramid head with chopsticks"... sounds like an asian version of the spoon killer XD
It will hit you... with chopsticks!
What's better?
Solitary Confinement for SIXTEEN YEARS!
or
Raped/Butt Raped for SIXTEEN YEARS!
Well... If hentai has its say... It might be Raped/Butt Raped because after a while, you might start enjoying it...
You are not thinking outside the box, friend...There are plenty of ways to suffer and plenty of ways to punish a person...Oh so many ways...
Solitary confinement is like getting buried alive...A fate worse than an ass-raping from a room full of Pyramid Heads...
You spend every second, every minute, every hour, every day for 16 years inside a dark cell with nothing but the faint light or none at all of the outside alcoves of the prison to illuminate you...
Alone...In darkness...In silence...With your sanity slowly fading and ceasing to exist...
That, in itself, is a hell of it's own...
He's finally at peace after the sins he committed...Unless he ends up in Silent Hill or something...
Getting chased by a Pyramid Head carrying a giant pair of bloody, metal chopsticks...
I've been in solitary confinement my whole life. Shut away, with nobody to interact with. Never did me any QUACK! QUACK! QUACK QUACK! QUACK QUACK QUACK! QUACK! harm.
Always jumping to conclusions.. the dude was found Dead in Solitary Confinement and was in for 16 years. Jump & Jump btw two completely Different sentences and you get:
"He has been in Solitary Confinement for SIXTEEN YEARS!!!!!!".
I unfortunately can not read Japanese so the link is unreadable, But this translation is quite understandable~ Dude MURDERED a man and "eye for an eye" would of been my choice here. But the Japanese government decided on a prolonged internment which by what I've been reading usually don't mean Life... You murder someone and can't be caught for a set period of time~ they gotta let ya go to boot!
lol'd at the bloody metal chopsticks
Seppuku?
I'd pick solitary cell over a common cell where I'd get beaten up and raped in the ass by inmates any day.
Looks like this guy had some...
*puts sunglasses*
...hungry eyes.
YEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!
Chopsticks are dangerous weapons and should be banned!
No chopsticks in hair for you!
Really, I wish the practice would just die out...
Yes, I issue that the replacement for women exclusively should be penis, mine's to be specific.
sure as long as you dont mind getting big , buff cellmates cock in your arse . should be a good replacement
Request denied.
It's KIRA I tell you. He's Back Again.
YOU! just made my day lulz-ier
Reason of death: stabbing his own his with chopsticks.
Just according to keikaku.
(Translator’s Note: Keikaku means plan)
Nicely Spotted Watson
Oh well.
Reaction of the day.
"He was quickly taken to hospital, but had already expired"
makes him sound like a food product
Pun intended?
Maybe he becomes one.
Soylent Green. Yum.
"makes him sound like a food product"
and if this were in China...
