The video, which Polygon reports has been deleted from Paul’s 15 million-subscriber YouTube channel, sparked outrage for its disrespectful treatment of a dead body. But the truth is that turning the remains of a human being into a spectacle is worse than just horrifyingly bad taste: by sensationalizing suicide, it could also be dangerous. >The video shows Paul and his friends visiting Japan’s Aokigahara forest. There, they spot a body of someone who had apparently killed himself, Polygon’s Julia Alexander reports. “Paul then walks up to the body, providing closeups of the man’s hands and zooming in on the pockets of the victim to point out he still has his wallet,” Alexander writes.
