Crayon Shin-chan author Yoshito Usui found dead

I noted in a blog last week that Yoshito Usui was reported missing by his family. He had told his family he was going for a hike and would be back in the evening. He however never returned.

It has been a week since his disappearance. It has now been reported that his body was found by a hiker under the Tomoiwa cliff. The body was identified by dental records. It looks to be an accident as police do not believe this was intentional nor was there anyone else supposedly with him.

I wish his family my condolences to his family.
