Detergent Suicide – Detergent suicides are a growing problem in Japan, a country with one of the highest suicide rates in the world. In fact, the recipe for creating the detergent mixture is one of the top searches on the internet.
Today in Oturo, Japan a 24 year old man was announced dead and his mother is being treated for exposure to the toxic gas.
This detergent suicide is the latest in wave of suicides using the “rotten egg” smelling toxic hydrogen sulfide gas.
Internet sites in Japan provide the recipe and instructions on committing suicide by using hydrogen sulfide gas made from detergent and other chemicals.
In another detergent suicide, a 14-year old girl mixed laundry detergent and toilet bowl cleaner to produce the noxious, yellowish gas.
350 people were evacuated from the area to avoid the detergent suicide fumes.
The Oturo, Japan suicide is latest in a round of incidents in which people mixed detergent to produce hydrogen sulfide to kill themselves. The death toll has now reached over 50 people, some of those were innocent bystanders who inhaled the gas.
The detergent suicide recipe is used to produce hydrogen sulfide gas by mixing certain types of detergent with a particular type of bath powder, each of which are easily obtained.
Police officials in Japan are asking internet service providers to remove the detergent suicide recipe from websites.
Human life is precious and nothing is ever so bad that killing yourself is the only option.
And that’s the latest chatter on the detergent suicide.
