A girl who jumped from the roof of a building to commit suicide in the city of Yokohama, Japan, woke up on a passerby below, killing both.
According to the British Broadcasting Corporation, the 17-year-old high school student jumped from a building in a busy area of the city and landed on the 32-year-old woman below.
Both the women were rushed to the hospital, but both of them could not survive.
The suicide rate for people under the age of 18 in Japan is higher on September 1 than any other day, officials say. This is the date when the new school term begins in Japan.
Last year, 513 children committed suicide in Japan, and most of them cited difficulties at school as the reason.
Although the overall suicide rate in Japan is declining, it is increasing among young Japanese.
Japan is the only country among the G7 countries where suicide is the leading cause of death among young people
