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.

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?

I found this site, it’s operated by the US government rather than the Japanese government. If you look for US citizens who died in Japan in June 2021, it does in fact show that there were no deaths.

Note that the site only has statistics up to June 2021 and is only updated every 6 months. I thought that maybe the statistics were only updated up to the beginning of June but I tried another country (Mexico) and there was a death listed on June 28 so it seems like they’re up to the end of June.

In sure this will convince the skeptics that there’s no evidence. I’m in another thread about facts not changing people’s minds though haha.

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?"

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.

Cool, now you're just denying reality, the activities of those harassers towards them and other people are public record, so I rest my case.
