Japanese TV star Ako Kawada committed suicide

Posted on May 26, 2008 - Topics: Entertainment

Japanese artist Ako KawadaJapanese TV presenter Ako Kawada committed suicide by inhaling a lethal amount of toxic carbon monoxide gas.

The 29-year-old’s body was found in a car belonging to her talent agency in Tokyo’s Minato-ku on Monday morning. Traces of burned charcoal were also found in the vehicle.

A suicide note addressed to the TV personality’s parents was found on the dashboard of the car, but she didn’t mention what had been worrying her enough to take her own life. She had however posted a message on her blog recently saying how she felt mentally and physically fatigued.

One of the saddest things in life is when people who wanted to live are not given the chances while people who have the opportunity to enjoy their life decided to end theirs.

Condolences to her parents. Rest in peace Ako, regardless.
