Logan Paul Apologizes For Graphic Video Post On His YouTube Channel

Logan Paul is publicly apologizing for posting a vlog showing a dead body he discovered in Japan ... saying he only "intended to raise awareness about suicide."

The famous YouTuber posted the original 15 minute video Sunday showing him and some friends venturing through a forest at the base of Japan's Mount Fuji -- otherwise known as "Suicide Forest" for the high number of self-inflicted deaths that happen there.

In the video Logan and his team stumble upon a dead body hanging from a tree. He comes up close to the body and zooms in while police are called.

Logan received a huge amount of criticism online and took down the video soon after. He also issued an apology Monday.
