Although there are "gnawing old people" all over the world, Japan's "gnawing old people" are different from some other countries.
Japan is a very extreme country, and you can see from their film and television dramas that there are some things that Japan can film.
The same is true of their "gnawing old people", and in the process of "gnawing the old", there are often more extreme performances.
During this time, I wrote a lot of articles about the Japanese "gnawing old people".
There are because of "gnawing old", so angry that they are blasted by their parents.
There are those who were directly "killed by righteousness" by their father because of "gnawing the old".
There are also "gnawing old" and gnawing to the ashes of their 70s.
I thought that their experience was already even more strange, but compared with the following one, it was really a small witch.
A 61-year-old man in Japan, his father died of illness, because he was afraid of loneliness, he actually ate and slept with his father's corpse for 24 days.
It was not until 24 days later that the police found it and the body was disposed of.
What happened to this old Japanese man, and why didn't he want to go out to work anyway?
How did he spend these 24 days with the corpse?
Today, we will talk about the bizarre story of the 61-year-old Japanese "gnawing old man".
On August 24, 2019, the hottest time in Tokyo, a police officer was patrolling the streets when he suddenly smelled a foul smell.
The smell is like the carcass of an animal has been broken, making people feel sick, as if frozen in the air, and will not dissipate for a long time.
Years of experience told the policeman that something must be happening nearby.
So he began searching for the source of the smell, and finally determined that the smell was the largest in a residential building.
He didn't know if it was the smell of rotten food, so he searched for the smell and found Nobuyuki Takeda's home.
After opening the door, he found that it was a policeman, and Nobuyuki Takeda looked a little flustered, and then asked.
"Hello, is there anything going on?"
"I'm patrolling the streets and I smell a foul smell coming from your room, do you need help?"
"I don't need to, please leave, I'm going to rest!"
Hearing the policeman's words, Nobuyuki Takeda's expression was a little flustered, and he pushed off that he was not feeling well, so he wanted to close the door.
The police quickly held up with their hands to prevent Takeda from closing the door.
"Excuse me, I'm going to go inside and check it out!"
After saying hello, he ignored Nobuyuki Takeda today, forcibly opened the door, and walked into the house.
Pity Nobuyuki Takeda, who is 61 years old this year, and how can he be the opponent of the police, so he can only let the other party search his room.
As soon as they entered the house, the police smelled a strong stench.
The smell was several times stronger than outside, and it almost smoked him.
Nobuyuki Takeda's room is messy, with garbage everywhere on the floor, and various small household appliances, casually placed on the floor.
It can be seen that Nobuyuki Takeda is not a person who likes to clean his room.
Entering the bedroom, the foul smell reached its peak, and it was often found that an old man was lying in the bunk, sleeping quietly.
And the foul-smell came from the old man.
The police hurriedly stepped forward to check and opened the bed to find that the old man had been dead for a long time, and even his flesh had begun to decompose.
Only the face is well preserved, and if you don't look at the body, you think that the old man is just asleep.
"Homicide?"
The police subconsciously thought, and then began to call for support, and he stayed in place alone, staring at Nobuyuki Takeda.
At this time, Nobuyuki Takeda was like a child who had done something wrong, standing in place, not daring to move.
After a while, sirens sounded outside the door, and several police colleagues arrived after hearing the news, and then took Nobuyuki Takeda back to the police station.
As for the body, after the autopsy, it was sent to the hospital.
The police thought that he killed him, but they did not expect that after inspection, they found that the old man died of natural causes, which had nothing to do with Nobuyuki Takeda.
In addition, a "thought-provoking" thing is often found.
When the remains of the old man were found, he had been dead for 24 days.
In other words, in the past 24 days, Nobuyuki Takeda has been eating and sleeping with the corpse, which is inevitably too strange.
Who is this old man, and why would Nobuyuki Takeda prefer to live with him rather than dispose of the corpse?
At the police station, Nobuyuki Takeda's words made the police completely silent.
Nobuyuki Takeda, 61 this year.
The one who died, his father, was over 90 years old.
The reason why he was reluctant to deal with his father's affairs was because Nobuyuki Takeda was afraid of loneliness.
That's right, he is for "gnawing the old people".
After graduating from school, Nobuyuki Takeda lived with his parents.
After graduating, Nobuyuki Takeda also wanted to find a good job and settle down.
But in the process of finding a job, he hit a wall everywhere, and no company would ask for him.
Over time, Nobuyuki Takeda lost confidence, simply gave up on himself, stopped going out to look for a job, and became a "gnawing old man".
Takeda lived with his father 40 years ago when his mother died.
At first, his father would urge him to find a job, but Nobuyuki Takeda only went in and out of his left ear and never paid attention to it.
After a while, his father stopped urging him.
Usually, the consumption of the two depends on the hard work of their father, while Nobuyuki Takeda does housework at home.
For 40 years, the two have maintained a tacit understanding and have never talked about what they do again.
After their father retired, the two lived on their father's pension.
Just 24 days ago, his father died of illness, and Nobuyuki Takeda was 61 years old and very afraid of loneliness.
Therefore, after his father's death, he neither called the police nor contacted the hospital, but left his father's remains at home.
For the past 24 days, Nobuyuki Takeda has helped his father wipe his body every day.
August was the hottest time of the year, and it wasn't long before my father's body began to decompose and grow maggots.
In order to take care of his father's body, Nobuyuki Takeda also disposed of the maggots, which is why the body remained intact.
Unfortunately, even if the body remained intact, the smell could not be concealed in any way, and it was eventually detected by the patrolling police.
After figuring out what happened, the police also felt very speechless.
If you are so afraid of loneliness, why not go out and try to communicate with other people?
Tying yourself to your father all your life not only ruined your life, but also made your father very painful.
It's hard to imagine what kind of despair did Nobuyuki Takeda's father leave this world with?
In the end, although Nobuyuki Takeda did not harm his father, he also committed the crime of "insulting the corpse" and was arrested by the police in accordance with the law.
Nobuyuki Takeda's story really refreshed the lower limit of "gnawing the old people", and it also made many netizens very incomprehensible.
Nobuyuki Takeda can even tolerate the smell of rotting corpses and putrid smells, so why not get out of the room and try to communicate with others?
Could it be that speaking made Takeda Nobuyuki more painful than eating and living with a corpse?
Some netizens may say that Nobuyuki Takeda's case is an isolated case in Japan.
It does not mean that Japan's "gnawing old people" are unique in the world.
If you really think so, you would be very wrong, things like Nobuyuki Takeda happen in Japan almost every year.
For example, the incident that happened in Japan in 2019 is as good as Nobuyuki Takeda.
In 2019, Nippon TV reported an incident.
The social worker went to visit a 56-year-old man named Shin'ichi, whose parents had been dead for more than 10 years and who now lives alone.
The social worker wanted to take him to the hospital for a physical examination.
Shin'ichi refused to open the door, indicating that he was fine.
In desperation, the social worker could only leave, but he did not expect to come to the door 10 days later, and Shin'ichi had starved to death at home.
This hurt the social workers, who had noticed that something was wrong with Shin'ichi.
So during this time, I kept coming to the door to ask about Shin'ichi, but the responses were all.
"I'm fine, leave me alone!"
In fact, the social workers in the neighborhood knew that Shin'ichi's body had reached its limit and he urgently needed medical attention.
But even that didn't save his life.
Shin'ichi's experience is very similar to Nobuyuki Takeda, after the college entrance examination, he wants to find a job related to English because he failed to go to school.
But when looking for a job, he hit a wall everywhere, and over time, he became a "gnawing old family", and it took 30 years to gnaw.
The father was completely diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the mother suffered from Alzheimer's, but even so, he still had to take care of the son at home.
Before his death, his father had a habit of keeping a diary, in which he cared about Shin'ichi's future all the time.
"If we're gone, how can he live alone?"
After his father died, Shin'ichi relied on his father's inheritance and lived his life carefully, calculating every day.
After Shin'ichi's death, his younger brother Jiro came to clean up his room and found his brother's notes in the trash.
The notes are very detailed about how long the father's inheritance can last.
There are three main reasons why Shin'ichi can't think of it.
First, his health is gradually weakening, second, his father's inheritance has been spent, and third, he is too lonely.
So much so that he feels that living in this world is too boring, and it is better to go below to accompany his parents.
From what happened to Shin'ichi and Takeda, we can see that their story is not unique in Japan.
According to Japanese statistics, the number of middle-aged and elderly "gnawing old people" living in Japan has exceeded 610,000.
They are generally over the age of 40, and their parents are over 60 years old.
No one could have predicted the day when their parents would die suddenly.
After tragedy strikes, where should these "gnawing old people" who are out of touch with the world go?
What caused this tragedy to happen?
In the final analysis, it is Japan's increasingly depressed economy that cannot carry so many people.
After going through social screening, some people will naturally be eliminated.
Unable to gain a foothold in society, he can only choose to "gnaw the old" at home.
Sadly, this situation is completely irreversible and can only be seen as tragedy unfolds.
Is this really what should happen in modern civilized society?
I really like what a Japanese guy said.
"The jungle society is a jungle society, so that lonely people can enjoy life as they should, which is a civilized society."
I sincerely hope that such a human tragedy will not happen again in reality.
