Japan: Liberal Democratic Party Member Measuring Radiation in Tokyo Park Found Dead

February 25th, 2012

Perhaps tochigi, or other Cryptogon readers who are able to read Japanese, would like to report on this. There is no mainstream news coverage of this in English at the moment.

Via: Fukushima Diary:

Following up this article ..Tokyo is contaminated as the worst place in Chernobyl

Mr. Kabayama, a Tokyo city councilor of Liberal Democratic Party died after measuring radiation in Mizumoto Park.

He was measuring radiation in various areas in Tokyo and posted it on his blog.

On 6/30/2011, he measured 0.25 microSv/h in Mizumoto Park.

The next day, 7/1/2011 3AM, he was found dead with his head covered by a plastic bag.

Police thought it to be suicide for some reason. However, none of the posts on the blog suggested potential suicide, he sounded motivated to measure around in Tokyo.

He was found dead by his family.

    1. Fukushima Diary and its author have extremely low credibility in my opinion.
    2. Mizumoto Park is a known hotspot (that is being ignored by the authorities) with soil readings of 23,300Bq/kg.
    3. The death he is reporting on happened in June. why is he reporting on it now?
    4. i did a quick google search for stuff related to this assemblyman’s death, and there is almost nothing except for the initial reports.
    5. what i found suggests that many people thought the police were too quick in pointing to suicide as the probable cause of death. i cannot find any follow-up details of the investigation into his death.
