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.
