FUKUOKA — A former elementary school principal, who is believed to have been involved in leaking questions for a teacher recruitment exam in the city of Fukuoka, was found hanged in the mountains Sunday morning, police said.

The 65-year-old ex-principal went missing before the scandal was reported early January. He is said to have received information on the questions from a senior official at the Fukuoka City Board of Education. He played a central role in a seminar on how to pass the recruitment test. He was found dead in almost the same clothes he wore when he went missing, according to police.

I'm starting to think that the Japanese are becoming champion at something called ...

POINTLESSNESS !!

I mean , for all their non-achievements ... couldn't they at least stick around to see it through ?

Then kill themselves ?
