American Blogger Apologizes for Video Showing Japanese Suicide Victim
This is What's Trending Today.
An American blogger has apologized after facing criticism for a YouTube video that appeared to show the body of a suicide victim.
Logan Paul published the video on Sunday. It showed him walking with friends in the Aokigahara forest near Japan's Mount Fuji. The area is known as a place where a number of people have committed suicide.
In the video, Paul and his friends see a man's hanging body and react with shock, but also tell jokes.
Critics called the jokes "disrespectful" and "disgusting."
Paul published an apology letter Tuesday on Twitter. He wrote, "Where do I begin. Let us start with this. I am sorry."
He said that in his daily production of video blogs, or vlogs, "it is easy to get caught up in the moment" without thinking fully about the possible effects.
The video has been taken down, but parts of it remain online.
Suicide rates in Japan are the highest in the developed world. Official numbers on suicides, especially in the Aokigahara forest, are not available. Some Japanese say people choose to take their life in the forest because it could take days to find the body.
Logan Paul has more than 15 million subscribers to his YouTube channel and nearly four million followers on Twitter.

美国网红为拍摄“自杀森林”死者遗体道歉
这里是《今日热点》节目。
美国一位网红因将拍摄有自杀者遗体的视频发布至YouTube网站遭致非议，随后其发文致歉。
周日，洛根·保罗（Logan Paul）发布了这段视频。视频中显示，他和朋友在日本富士山附近的青木原树海里穿行。这里因大批自杀者聚集而出名。
在视频中，保罗和朋友看到一具上吊的男性遗体时十分震惊，不过他们却开起了玩笑。
有些评论称，他们的行为十分“不敬”和“恶心”。
周二，保罗在推特上发表了一封道歉信。他写道，“首先，请允许我道歉。我真的很抱歉。”
他表示，自己每天录制视频时，容易突然陷入某个场景中，然后忘记全面地考虑这件事情可能引发的负面效应。
这段视频已经下架，但部分视频仍在网上流传。
日本的自杀率在发达国家中居首。日本官方无法详细统计自杀人数，尤其是青木原树海里的自杀人数。一些日本人指出，因为尸体不会立即被发现，所以自杀者选择在森林中结束生命。
洛根·保罗在YouTube频道的订阅量超过1500万，在推特上拥有将近400万粉丝。
