An unfortunate incident took place recently in which an elderly woman died from strangulation after her necklace became tangled around her neck. Authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. The woman, found by family members in her home, was pronounced dead at the scene. Currently, an autopsy is underway, and the relevant documents have been forwarded to the prosecutor for review.

In Japan, the safety of the elderly is considered a major priority as Japan has one of the world's highest percentages of elderly citizens. Accidents in the home, particularly involving the elderly, often draw considerable attention and are taken seriously by the authorities. Hence, this kind of incident is viewed critically and is likely to lead to public discussions about improving safety measures for the elderly at home.

Similarly, in the US and EU, incidents involving the care and safety of the elderly are taken very seriously, sparking investigations and occasionally leading to legal action, depending on the circumstances. Nonetheless, the level of societal concern in Japan might be more pronounced due to its higher proportion of elderly citizens.
