YouTube star Logan Paul has come under fire on New Year’s weekend after posting a video that appeared to show a dead body hanging from a tree in Japan’s Aokigahara forest on the slopes of Mt. The video was uploaded Sunday under the title and garnered more than 6 million views in less than a day, according to magazine. By late Monday, Paul had taken down the video and for his “mistake.” “I didn’t do it for the views. I get views,” he wrote on his. “I did it because I thought I could make a positive ripple on the internet, not cause a monsoon of negativity. That’s never the intention. I intended to raise awareness for suicide and suicide prevention.” But Paul, the older brother of fellow YouTuber and former Disney Channel “Bizaardvark” star Jake Paul, drew heavy criticism for showing the graphic images of an apparent suicide — especially since it came in the midst of a 15-minute clip about his Japanese travels in which he laughs and jokes about other aspects of local culture.

Logan Paul may have removed the video but the fact he still thought it was a good idea to post it in the first place is disgusting. I will never forget or forgive him. — shane dawson dancing™️ (@dancing_dawson) I really don't know what's more disgusting, the fact that Logan Paul filmed the body of someone who committed suicide or that he was able to LAUGH after it — yasmin (@zarasglory) I cannot believe how beyond disrespectful this Logan Paul guy is filming and zooming in on a Japanese man who hung himself.
