Body of woman in underwear found in apartment building parking lot

Poor woman. Whatever happened to her, I hope her suffering was minimal. I hope people remember how she lived, not just how she died.*

(A nod to that film about Bruce Lee).

According to police, a passerby called 110 at around 10:20 a.m. on Sunday and reported that a woman in her underwear was lying on the ground in the parking lot beside her two-storey apartment building in Nishi Ward, Fuji TV reported.

Imagine, as a foreigner you spotted a dead body on the way in Japan, would you guys dare call the police overlooking the sheer possibility of storm of questions and end up being a suspect?

fondofji, very good question. Right now I think I'd rather inform a Japanese acquaintance to make the call for me. Or if that's not possible, make an anonymous call from a pay phone alerting the police of the situation. I don't feel comfortable ignoring it but at the same time I don't want to deal with the police.

My sympathy and condolences. I love Kobe and my wife and daughter live in Kobe. Strange, it's a very safe place to live.

especially if you are tourist.

If you easily spotted it, then someone else will too. Walk away if you are not a Japanese national.

They said her body had cuts and abrasions to her feet, arms and waist, but no other external injuries

That's a very strange Post Mortem.

I personally wouldn't. no.

Good advice
