A news was reported that a young couple committed suicide by hanging themselves at a Tangalle hotel yesterday (23rd). The police say that the way this young couple committed suicide was recorded on a nearby CCTV camera.

Also, it has been revealed that the death of the young couple was a suicide from the post-mortem investigations conducted in this incident. It is stated that the dead young man is 22 years old and the girl is 17 years old.

It is said that there was a love relationship between this young couple and they had stayed in the hotel room the night before. It is reported that a letter written before death was found in the room.

It had been mentioned in the letter that this suicide was done by the consent of the two as their marriage was hindered due to the lack of birth certificate of the deceased young man.

Ricardo Lopez, who was more known by the name Bjork Stalker, was a pest control worker living in Hollywood, Florida. Lopez had become obsessed with the Icelandic singer named Bjork, and had devised a plan to take her life using a letter bomb he created that was laced with sulfuric acid.

Lopez recorded himself as he prepared his bomb, often mumbling and making incoherent statements as he worked. After finishing the bomb, he mailed it off to Bjork, who was residing in London at the time, then returned home and filmed his suicide. His body, along with the video, and a handwritten note, were found by police several days later. After reviewing the video, the police in Florida contacted Scotland Yard, who were able to retrieve the package before it arrived to Bjork's residence.

Here is the video that was recovered from Lopez's home by police.

Two 16yo Japanese highschool girls, one of them allegedly pregnant, have livestreamed their suicide on 12th of April 2023.

The suicide is said to be related to love affairs where the girls have failed to win the heart of their "senpai" who is a famous Japanese cosplay livestreamer.

Autopsy efforts are on the way to find out the father of the child which died with the 16yo young mother.

The girls (the first girl is 16, she has a Twitter account that is still up, where she posted her final goodbye)

The cosplay livestreamer (https://twitter.com/pyascal3640)

Apparently besides being a cosplay livestreamer he was also a host at a host bar, where he met the girl(s)

Following the suicides, he posted this on Twitter:

My girlfriend committed suicide.

She jumped off a rooftop holding hands with her friend.

She was a listener. We exchanged dm's everyday and I fell in love with her. After a while we started dating and getting to know each other better.

She was dying in her room until she found me on social media. She saw me on video, got inspired, and decided to live again. I was everything to her.

I had been making her feel insecure because I was a host in my activities.

We would sometimes argue, and every time we argued, I would see a side of her that I didn't like.

I told her that I would distance myself from her.

She called me the day before yesterday and said, "I will die if you are gone. I've already come to Tokyo to die. I decided to meet with her in person the next day and convince her that I really needed some time away.

She desperately denied it. I tried to convince her in tears that it was a busy time for her with her birthday festival coming up and that she had a lot of anxiety and it was mentally difficult for her. Gradually she calmed down and agreed. When we parted, she said, "I want to be with you.

She said, "I want to have sex with you.

I refused.

When I learned that she had jumped, I called the police and told them that I wanted to turn myself in. Later, a detective came and told me that I was innocent.

I broke down in tears.

I broke down in tears. I felt really stupid for not being able to stop her from committing suicide right in front of me.

If only I had been able to give her a hug at that time, maybe she would still be alive.

I thought about dying too. However, I just cried and cried and cried again when I remembered her.

To be honest, I wish I could die soon and go to be with her. I don't think she will forgive me. Even so, I want to see her again and give her a hug.

Every time I think of her face, I want to die.

I don't know if I will be able to live, but I will carry this unforgivable sin on my shoulders, and I will spend the rest of my life atoning for the sins I think I have committed.

I am very sorry to the bereaved families, the people involved, and everyone who has supported me, for betraying your expectations.

On May 29, 2023, Zibo City, Shandong Province, China: The graduate student who just graduated from Fuyuan Community jumped off the building

A man from Delhi, India hesitated to take his own life but finally slipped

A woman identified as FM (31) ended her life by hanging herself on Sunday (14/4/2024).

Wearing cream-colored trousers, FM hanged herself in the bathroom using a towel while broadcasting her actions live on Instagram.

As of now, it is not known for certain why FM chose to broadcast her suicide on social media.

Before hanging herself, FM allegedly had an argument with her partner the day before the incident.

Before being found dead from suicide, FM was reportedly experiencing violence from her partner. This was based on a bump on FM's head before the suicide.

The Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of Kebayoran Lama Police AKP Suwarno denied these allegations. He stated that the victim's injury was not caused by her partner identified as YB.

"The bump was caused by the victim herself," said Suwarno on Wednesday (17/4/2024).

Suwarno even stated that YB did not commit any violence against the victim.

According to him, there is no concrete evidence to suggest that FM suffered violence from her partner based on the investigation results.

"We have investigated and examined the boyfriend, and he did not commit any violence against the victim," he said.

FM and her partner were allegedly arguing before the suicide incident occurred. This information was confirmed by Suwarno.

FM and her partner argued the day before the victim ended her life because they decided not to create content for social media.

"So they decided not to make content, the victim got angry, and then an argument ensued," added Suwarno.

The Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of Kebayoran Lama Police AKP Suwarno stated that FM (31) had attempted suicide several times before.

Until Sunday (14/4/2024), she was found hanging in the bathroom.

Bend, Oregon, United States

A Bend Police officer was justified in using deadly force to shoot an armed 18-year-old Bend man who at the same moment used his own gun to take his life during a March 20 encounter after a crash on the Bend Parkway, Deschutes County District Attorney Steve Gunnels concluded Friday.

Gunnels issued a 12-page report on the use of deadly force that laid out the sequence of events that night and concluded that while Bend Police Officer Wesley Murphy “acted lawfully in self-defense and defense of others” when he shot Gabriel Platz, the young man “died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.”

In the conclusion of his report, Gunnels wrote, “Officer Murphy's use of deadly force was reasonable to defend Officer (Cody) Lyter and to defend bystanders from Mr. Platz's firearm as it was being grabbed, manipulated and brought up into a shooting position (all despite multiple warnings to not grab the gun and to drop it) prior to Mr. Platz shooting himself,” Gunnels wrote in the conclusion of his report.

“Officer Murphy would have been legally justified in shooting Mr. Platz from the time it became clear Mr. Platz had grabbed the gun from the floorboard of the vehicle after having been told multiple times not to do so,” the DA said.

While Lyter also “would have been justified” in shooting Platz for the same reason, he instead “reached into the vehicle to close distance and to take the gun away or prevent it from being used,” Gunnels wrote. “That act required a great deal of courage, and it is extraordinarily fortunate that Officer Lyter was not struck by any of the three rounds fired during this incident.”

A Bend Parkway motorist reported the crash on the northbound parkway at 8:17 p.m. on March 20, involving a Lincoln Towncar that was estimated to have topped speeds of 90 mph, passing vehicles on the shoulder, Gunnels wrote. The witness said the driver smelled of alcohol and took his keys away.

Officers arrived on the scene and saw the driver still inside, also spotting a handgun on the car's floorboard. He ignored repeated direction not to reach for it and the officer-involved shooting ensued, with Platz sustaining a fatal self-inflicted gunshot wound as he “was simultaneously shot by police,” an incident captured on both officers' body-warn cameras.

Gunnels told us Friday, "Mr. Platz went to kind of a great effort to grab the firearm off of the floorboard of his car. to bring it up to rack the slide on the handgun, which makes it a deadly weapon at that point, and brought it up to his head."

The DA's report says at various points that the shots were fired "virtually" or "nearly" simultaneously. Asked about that, Gunnels told NewsChannel 21 Friday: "I believe the officer's first shot was simultaneous with Mr. Platz's shot. I've reviewed the footage many, many times, and it is impossible for me to hear or see a time difference, even when watching in very slow motion with sound."

The report said that Lyter only drew his gun after the three shots were fired and as he moved away from the car.

In his conclusion, Gunnels stated, “Hindsight allows us to recognize that Mr. Platz acted with an intent to end his own life, but the officers who were charged with protecting the public at that moment did not have the benefit of hindsight.'

“They had a duty to act within seconds to end the threat that they reasonably perceived, and they did so,” the DA wrote. "They did not have the ability to wait and see what would happen.”

“These events represent a tragedy for those affected by them, including Gabriel Platz and his family,” he concluded. “The involved officers carry the emotional burden of these events, as well as do witnesses.”
