SO MUCH FOR 'HAPPY ENDINGS' IN MODERN DAY JAPAN...

-- "Almost 40,000 people died alone in their homes in Japan during the first half of 2024, a report by the country’s police shows. Of that number, nearly 4,000 people were discovered more than a month after they died, and 130 bodies went unmissed for a year before they were found. Japan has long tried to counter its ageing and declining population, but the shift is becoming hard for the country to manage." --
