Falsified Cause of Death / Manipulated Postmortem Procedures
Toride Kyodo Hospital → JA Toride General Medical Center
This page details the falsification of the cause of death, the manipulated process of postmortem examination, the suspicious handling by police, and the inconsistencies in the death certification process. All descriptions are based on primary documents and audio recordings obtained during the evidence preservation process.
1. Overview — What Was Falsified in the Postmortem Procedures?
After my father’s suspicious death on 12 September 2010, every step of the postmortem process — the death certificate, the death notification (death report), the alleged judicial autopsy, the police explanation, and the billing — turned out to contain serious inconsistencies.
The facts revealed through primary documents and audio recordings indicate:
- ✔ The “death certificate” handed to the family was already a photocopy (not an original).
- ✔ Someone impersonated my mother and submitted the death notification to the city office.
- ✔ Police claimed a “judicial autopsy” was performed—but evidence shows it was never done.
- ✔ The police billed the family a “judicial autopsy fee,” which is impossible under Japanese law.
- ✔ The hospital’s billing record includes a “fee for issuing a death certificate,” proving that the death was processed as natural death (病死) and not suspicious death (変死).
In short: The suspicious death was systematically processed as a natural death.
2. The Death Certificate Was a Photocopy from the Beginning
The “death certificate” we received was already a photocopy. A genuine death certificate is always issued on special official paper with security features and includes a section for the death notification (death report).
However:
- ✔ It was printed on plain A4 paper.
- ✔ The death notification section was missing from the beginning.
- ✔ No original document was ever shown to the family.
- ✔ No one ever asked us to submit a death notification.
According to Japanese law, the family must submit the death notification to the municipal office together with the original death certificate. But we were never asked to do so.
This means the death notification was submitted by someone else.
3. Someone Impersonated My Mother and Submitted the Death Notification
When we later obtained the official government copy of the death notification, it listed my mother’s name as the submitter.
However:
- ✔ My mother never filled out a death notification.
- ✔ She never went to the municipal office.
- ✔ We were never told to submit anything.
Therefore, someone wrote my mother’s name and impersonated her in order to submit the document.
4. Police Billed the Family a “Judicial Autopsy Fee” — Impossible Under Law
A man identifying himself as “○○, Chief of Criminal Division, Toride Police Station” told us:
“A judicial autopsy will be performed. The fee is 50,000 yen. Please pay it.”
We were handed an official-looking receipt.
But under Japanese law:
- ✔ Judicial autopsies are funded entirely by the national government.
- ✔ Families are never billed.
- ✔ Police issuing a bill to a bereaved family is unlawful.
Therefore, the “judicial autopsy fee” demanded from us was fabricated.
5. Evidence That No Judicial Autopsy Was Performed
Police claimed:
“A judicial autopsy was performed by a forensic professor.”
However, every piece of objective evidence indicates that:
- ✔ No body transfer record exists.
- ✔ No autopsy report exists.
- ✔ No chain of custody record exists.
- ✔ No contact from the forensic department was received.
- ✔ The death certificate was processed as “natural death,” not “suspicious death.”
The forensic professor later claimed:
“I performed the judicial autopsy.” “This death certificate was written by me.” “No findings of medical accident appeared.”
But the handwriting on the death certificate does not match his own handwriting (confirmed through comparison).
And again—no autopsy report exists.
Therefore, the most reasonable conclusion is: No judicial autopsy took place.
6. Hospital’s Billing Record Includes “Death Certificate Fee” — Proof of Natural Death Processing
When we later obtained the hospital’s billing statements for September 2010, one entry was particularly decisive:
“Fee for issuing a death certificate”
- ✔ If the death were processed as “suspicious death,” → a postmortem examination certificate would be issued.
- ✔ If a judicial autopsy were performed, → the forensic doctor issues official documents, → the hospital does not issue a “death certificate.”
Therefore, the hospital’s own billing proves that: the death was officially processed as a natural death (病死).
This contradicts all police explanations.
7. The Entire Postmortem Process Was Fabricated
The combined evidence shows a uniform pattern:
- ✔ Death certificate → photocopy
- ✔ Death report → forged and impersonated submission
- ✔ Judicial autopsy → claimed by police, but not conducted
- ✔ Autopsy fee → unlawfully billed to the family
- ✔ Cause of death → rewritten from “suspicious” to “natural”
- ✔ Hospital paperwork → confirms natural death categorization
- ✔ Forensic professor → statements contradict verifiable facts
This was not a mistake or clerical error. It was a coordinated falsification of the entire death certification process.
Without this falsification, the medical accident and suspicious death would have been exposed immediately.
8. Additional Findings and Related Suspicious Facts
During the process of analyzing primary documents, medical records, billing data, and government paperwork, a number of highly suspicious related facts emerged. While not all of them are direct “proof” on their own, together they form a consistent pattern.
- ✔ The death notification (death report) was never shown to the family.
We only discovered the forged document years later. - ✔ The attending physician never mentioned “head trauma,” despite the acute subdural hematoma.
Audio recordings confirm the omission. - ✔ The police officer discouraged questioning and refused to listen to explanations.
Statements like:“I don't want to hear that from a layperson.”
are recorded verbatim. - ✔ The police officer asked about life insurance payout amounts.
This is irrelevant to determining cause of death. - ✔ No postmortem contact was ever made by any forensic institution.
Not even a single administrative notice. - ✔ The forensic professor’s written statement contradicts the handwriting on the death certificate.
- ✔ The hospital changed its name 6 months later (Toride Kyodo Hospital → JA Toride General Medical Center).
Each item could, in isolation, be seen as odd or unusual. Together, however, they form a coherent structure: the suspicious death was systematically made to disappear.
9. Conclusion — The Suspicious Death Was Erased Through Systematic Falsification
From the combination of:
- the photocopied death certificate,
- the forged death notification,
- the nonexistent judicial autopsy,
- the unlawful “autopsy fee,”
- the hospital billing record showing a natural death,
- the false statements by both police and a forensic professor,
- and the absence of all normal postmortem documentation,
the only reasonable interpretation is that the medical accident and suspicious death were deliberately covered up through falsification of the entire postmortem procedure.
In other words: The suspicious death was intentionally processed as a natural death.
Had the proper procedures been followed, the medical accident, the missed tamponade, the hemothorax, and the acute subdural hematoma caused by head trauma would have been exposed immediately.
Without the falsification, this case would have become a criminal investigation.
