A body was discovered at Mount Fuji on Wednesday afternoon following a search for a man who may have slid from the snow-capped summit while livestreaming himself on video-sharing service Niconico, police said.
The rescuers discovered the body of an unspecified gender around the seventh station on the Subashiri trail at Mount Fuji, at an altitude of around 2,700 meters, according to Shizuoka Prefectural Police.
An investigation was underway to identify the body to see if it belongs to the man who livestreamed his climb on Monday, police said.
