Japan Internet Suicide Deaths Soar to 91 in 2005
A Reuters newswire article by Elaine Lies, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
The number of Japanese killing themselves in groups after meeting through the Internet -- strangers afraid to die alone -- soared to a record 91 last year, nearly double that of 2004, police said on Thursday.
The deadly pacts pose a grim challenge for officials struggling to deal with Japan's high suicide rate, one of the worst among industrialised nations.
