A man was found hanged in an apparent suicide in a police-box restroom in Mie Prefecture on March 20, police said.
The 43-year-old man had been dead for three or four days when he was discovered in the Iga police box, to which four police officers are assigned.
Online commenters were left wondering why the body remained undiscovered for such a long time and how the officers could go so long without needing to use the restroom.
