Suicide is expensive if you jump in front of a train

In Japan, if you commit suicide by jumping in front of a Train, Rail Companies charge your family a fee.

Japan Rail, in fact, routinely charges families of suicide victims more than US $2 million, a financially devastating sum of money for most; although it is unclear whether any families can actually pay such a high bill.

The purpose is to reinforce how the suicide victim should not have created a burden for others and to reinforce the legitimacy of the shared cultural space of the commute.
