I assume by "that year", you mean this year, since Byuu's (sigh, "alleged") suicide note was posted in June. But frankly, the notion that there was an entire year in which not a single foreign citizen died in Japan is absurd on it's face. Surely you can point me to that press release, and maybe some news coverage of that statistical miracle. There's also a statement given to USA Today by their employer confirming their death, including their full name (previously not public), and a new photograph of them. I suppose that was part of the con, or hell, maybe USA Today is in on the conspiracy. https://news.yahoo.com/respected-developer-died-suicide-experts-165758039.html https://news.yahoo.com/respected-developer-died-suicide-expe... The things some people are willing to believe in order to absolve their own sense of guilt...

> since Byuu died in June Sorry, I'm not going to respond to you until you prove that this actually happened. You're the one making the claim that Byuu killed himself, but have not provided evidence. Anyone can post a note on Twitter and then stay offline. Edit: If you're going to downvote me, why not post some proof to discredit my assertions?

  OK, I've updated that sentence to be a little more neutral. Now I'm interested to to hear your response to the rest of what I wrote. What is the Japanese government agency that provides reports about the number of foreign nations who die on Japanese soil, and where is the report from the time period including late June 2021, showing that nobody died. And for comparison, where can I read a sample report from a time period in which the number of deaths exceeded zero? Also, in your scenario, did Byuu completely invent the company Datapower Development for the sake of appearances, or did they merely impersonate the founder, Wayne Becket, when talking to a reporter? Or is this a multi-person conspiracy?

    The "employer's quote" is just the CNN writer summarizing what the employer said as a confirmation that Byuu is dead. We don't know what any of the context was or what was actually said. If all you have is a flimsy non-quote for your proof, then I'm sorry, but you are gullible.

      The article includes a direct quote from Beckett. "I'm very very angry – furious with Kiwi Farms," Beckett told USA TODAY. "I just want them to appreciate the gravity of what they've done. They certainly contributed to (Ginder's) death. ... They were quite precious to us. How do you replace the irreplaceable?"

        Where's the death certificate?

        This comment is hilarious, considering context.

      If you're going to base your entire argument on a document you haven't produced, believing you would also make me gullible.

        The claim was originally that a man killed himself for harassment. We don't have proof of either the fact that he killed himself, or that he was even harassed. Yet the burden is on people who doubt this? They haven't been shown merely hearsay, yet they're expected to believe that it's true? Come on now.
