He may be the favorite youtubeur of your 11-year-old cousin. Logan Paul, American star of the video platform, has been the subject of heated controversy since Sunday, for broadcasting the video of a dead person. It shows the young man wandering in the forest of Aokigahara, Japan. Nicknamed "the forest of the hanged", the place is known to be the place of many suicides. In his walk, the youtubeur comes face to face with the body of a person hanged, and films it, before calling the police. "This video is a first in YouTube's history," says the videographer. "It never happened so far. Fasten your belts, because you'll never see a video like that again! "
