A young couple has died in Kahoku, Ishikawa Prefecture, after falling into a hole on a beach that was dug as a birthday prank for the husband, police said. One of the couple's friends called a fire station at about 10:45 p.m. Saturday and said company employee Yuki Demura, 23, and his wife Risa, 23, had fallen in the hole on Osaki beach. Rescue workers pulled the couple out about an hour later. They were taken to a hospital but were confirmed dead shortly afterward, police said.
The couple's upper bodies were covered by sand, police said. They are believed to have suffocated.
Risa and five friends of the couple reportedly dug the 2.4-meter-square and 2.5-meter-deep hole Saturday afternoon as a surprise for Yuki, whose birthday was on Sept. 1. They put a sheet over the hole and covered the sheet with sand, they said.

A mat was found inside the hole, and shovels and a ladder were close by.

Risa is believed to have brought Yuki to the beach from their house at night and fallen into the hole with him at about 10 p.m.

I personally think it was probably the most stupid birthday prank ever... I wonder how the friends will feel for the rest of their lives too.

...I still don't understand what the prank was supposed to do. So you made them fall in a hole, and what was the point of that?

The friends will have to live with that the rest of their lives.

Just consider your actions before you do something stupid...ugh.

Would't it be much funnier if you saw them fall into the hole... and then you helped them out of it with a laugh after giving them a hard time. Also what in the christ an 8.2 foot deep hole that's unsafe to dig even in sand, let alone fall down unknowing WHAT IN THE WORLD. Stupidity overwhelming.

This actually my worst nightmare.

Not dying in a sand pit but pulling of a prank wich ends up having people get hurt and then looking like a douche

Or in this case killing them wich i think people frown upon even more.

But what did they die from? Did sand cave in? Did they hit their heads?

Digging a 2.5m deep hole is way too much for a simple prank. O_O

It's really sad to know that it was just a prank that ended up really badly, but 2.5m is too much. Everyone should know that. lol

Oh my god. That is like over 20 tons of sand that they digged. How many days did they prepare this prank, and how come no officials came to stop them while in middle of this huge project on a (public?) beach.

What if someone else fell into the same damn hole? This is so mind boggling. A 2 metre drop can easily paralyse someone from the neck down at the minimum already. Seriously what were they thinking?
