Japan police tell IPs to remove suicide tips

TOKYO -- The Japanese police moved Wednesday to stop a string of suicides using detergent, asking Internet providers to remove information on how to generate the deadly gas. In the first action by police following dozens of suicides using hydrogen sulphide, the National Police Agency filed an official request with the Internet industry, telecommunications companies and cable broadcasters.

“Generating hydrogen sulphide is not illegal under current laws, but the risk is high for third parties to inhale the gas and, in worst case scenarios, die,” a police statement said.
