On March 30, a mother and her daughter fell into the sea in Fukuoka City’s Nishi Ward. According to the police, shortly after 5:00 p.m. on the 30th, a nearby resident called 110 to report calls for help. Men on a walk rescued two people, an adult woman, and a girl, off the breakwater, but the adult woman was pronounced dead at a hospital in Fukuoka City. The girl was not injured. A subsequent police investigation revealed that the victims were an unemployed mother (46) and her junior high school daughter (12), both of whom live in Kagoshima Prefecture. The daughter has been talking about a story that implies suicide. Source: NHK
