The National Police Agency says the number of deaths in the last six months has reached nearly 4,000 after the body was discovered more than a month after it was found dead at home.
Nearly 4,000 people found dead at home more than a month after death in six months National Police Agency to grasp the reality of “lonely deaths” and “isolated deaths” | NHK August 29, 2024 4:48 AM As the number of single-person households increases, the National Police Agency has found that of the more than 100,000 bodies examined and investigated by police nationwide in the six months up to June this year, approximately 30% were people living alone who were found at home, and nearly 4,000 of these people were found more than a month after death. We hope to use this information to understand the reality of “lonely deaths” and “deaths in isolation.” (Omitted) In terms of the number of days that had passed between the time of death and when the body was discovered, ▽the majority of cases were within one day, ▽but there were a total of 3,936 cases where more than 31 days had passed, ▽and there were 130 cases where more than a year had passed. The National Police Agency will also provide these survey results to a Cabinet Office working group that is considering measures to combat loneliness and isolation, with the hope of using this to gain a better understanding of the actual situation of “lonely deaths” and “isolated deaths.” *See source for full text. ※Related threads [Society] 28,330 elderly people living alone died in January to June due to “lonely deaths and isolated deaths” [Milk toast★].
This is the result of a Liberal Democratic Party government that is obsessed with slush funds and has no interest whatsoever in the lives of the Japanese people.
>>13 You don’t have to worry about what to do when you die. Someone will do something about it someday. Rather than that, what if you get seriously ill before you die?
It’s not something to laugh about, but you should think that it will happen to you someday. My dad died last week, and you won’t know when you’ve died if you don’t have some kind of connection to the outside world. If you’re single, you really need to get married and start a family, otherwise you’ll be causing trouble for the people you’re connected to. Also, bodies decompose in the summer, so you can’t look at them for a month after they’ve died. Don’t forget that you’ll need a lump sum for funeral expenses and the like.
Even though it’s hot, if it’s been more than a month since the death, the moisture will have evaporated and the body will be like dried fish, and if the person dies in the bath, the tub will be filled with dried sludge and flies will be flying around.
It’s happening more and more The police come asking things like “When was the last time you saw him?” I don’t know lol If there are no more unusual transfers of property, then just deal with it administratively.
