*Logan Paul: YouTuber 💻 apologises over
Japan dead man video 📹*
An
American YouTube star says he does not expect to be forgiven after he posted a
video which showed the body of an apparent suicide victim in Japan.
The
video showed Logan Paul and friends discovering the body in the Aokigahara
forest at the base of Mount Fuji, known to be a frequent site of suicides.
It
prompted a barrage of criticism online with some comments calling it
"disrespectful" and "disgusting".
Logan
Paul later apologised and said he was "misguided by shock and awe".
"I
have made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don't expect to
be forgiven," he said in a video apology posted to Twitter.
"I
should have never posted the video. I should have put the cameras down and
stopped recording what we were going through. There's a lot of things I should
have done differently, but I didn't", he said.
"I'm
ashamed of myself," he added. "I'm disappointed in myself."
The video was uploaded on
Sunday and had millions of views on YouTube before it was taken down.
