Fury Over Aussie in Japan

Post by Black Orchid » Sun Sep 28, 2025 6:21 pm

A wannabe Aussie influencer has been slammed online after “desecrating” a grave in Aokigahara, also known as Japan’s suicide forest.

Sydney man Lochie Jones posted a clip earlier this month titled “Suicide Forest Japan Pt 2 Graveyard Flip”, showing himself entering a burial site on the outskirts of the notorious forest.

“So it looks like there’s a cemetery here with a whole bunch of dead people,” he told his camera.

After climbing into the cemetery he can be seen touching graves, saying: “I wonder how many of them died in the forest.”

He then approaches a headstone with a can of popular Japanese beer Kirin on top of it.

“Look at this guy,” he laughs.

“A whole can of Kirin. Should I drink it?”

“What do we reckon?,” he asks himself.

After setting his phone up against the headstone he decides to do a coin flip to “leave it up to chance.”

Video at the link. He drinks the beer. Everytime I see the word "influencer" I cringe. Social media has a lot to answer for! :roll:

Meanwhile, local media reported that police had launched a formal inquiry into Jones. The Fuji Yoshida precinct of the Yamanashi police was investigating the video and “currently verifying the facts”.
