In 1985, a truck driver in Hiroshima, Japan, drank what he thought was a free beverage from a vending machine. He was quickly hospitalized and passed away two days later, leading to the discovery that the drink had been poisoned. Over the next seven months, many others would fall victim to similar circumstances, leaving behind a case that may forever remain unsolved. Today, we discuss the strange case of the Vending Machine Murders. Content warning: graphic descriptions, murder, suicide.
