Police have found a body during a search for a man who fell while livestreaming his climb of Japan’s Mount Fuji.
Rescuers found the body on Wednesday at an altitude of about 9,800ft up the 12,389ft mountain.
Protesters, mainly civil activists, started demonstrating in the downtown area on 17 October, condemning proposed taxes in the 2020 budget.
The climber is seen slipping down the mountain with his hiking sticks hurtling away, before the footage ends abruptly.
The man is thought to have travelled from Tokyo to hike up the mountain but his identity has not been confirmed.
