Chopsticks can indeed be deadly after an inmate at a prison outside of Tokyo, Japan used the eating utensils to commit suicide.

According to prison officials, the inmate stabbed himself in the head with the sharp end of a broken chopstick on the night of February 19. He was rushed in the hospital but died Sunday morning.

The man, in his 50s, started serving his sentence at Fuchu Prison outside of the Japanese capital in March 2006.
