« Younha to release Hitotsu Sora No Shita in September
Japan mourns 65th anniversary of Hiroshima bombing, youth culture pushes for an end to nuclear arms »

Sogen Kato, the oldest living man in Tokyo was supposed to celebrate his 111th birthday last July 22nd but it turns out that he’s already dead. The local officials of Tokyo’s centenarian ward had been trying to contact Kato in order to update their records in preparation for the upcoming “Respect for the Elderly Day” this September, but his family were always ignoring all their questions and request up to the point that they were even chased out of his property.

The ward officials grew tired of the situation and so they decided to force their way into Kato’s home and just when the local officials of Tokyo decided to give him a surprise visit on his birthday, they were the ones who were surprised!

They were surprised to see Kato’s mummiffied body lying in a bed covered with blanket instead of seeing him in front of a big cake with 111 candles.

The post-mortem examination revealed that Sato may have been dead for more than 30 years and it seems that his family tried to hide his death so that they could inherit the 9.5 million yen widower’s pension guaranteed to him.

o.o
thanks for sharing though


ooh, the controversy, ><
Thats a bit off putting, the fact of a dead body in your house for 30 years...but still, that is very selfish, :( Karma will get you back!


hid him for more than 30 years? omg.
that’s so mean :(


What the- thirty years? are you kidding me?
I all I can do is shake my head at the family.


Wow. 30 years is.. just wow. ><”
That’s pretty terrible..


Oh my goodness.... they were being way too greedy!!! 30 years?! are you kidding me????? such a disrespectful thing to do!


Wooow!! Really? 30 years!!
What a family…


Wow.. that is just horrible…
Kept him there for 30 years..
How could they do such a thing.. So inhumane >_<


OMG , they left him there for 30 years ,
what a horrible ridiculous family


The behaviour of Sogen Kato’s family members are ridiculous, they should have let this elder be burried on a traditional way or at least get his urn.
Respectless hiding his body for more than 30 years, that’s crazy.
Didn’t that house smell like crazy as well?

Btw; I think there’s a typo in the last alinea; it says Sato instead of Kato.


Oh wow- that’s ridiculous!


Wow… 111..???? That’s so old.. but if he’s already been dead for 30 years he must have been like 80 when he died.. The officals must have been surprised ><
