A hiker livestreamed his final moments after deciding to climb to the peak of Mount Fuji in Japan despite trails and huts being closed for the Winter season. Viewers watching the stream witnessed the man, who went by the name “Tedzo” online, slipping on the trail before losing his balance and tumbling down. The authorities were contacted and his body was discovered two days later.
The incident occurred back in 2019 but serves as a reminder as to why it’s important to follow the guidelines when it comes to hiking mountains during the Winter season. According to The Providence Journal, the livestream featured Tedzo attempting to climb to the summit, in the footage he can be heard saying, “I’m rushing to the peak.,” while somewhat out of breath.
