Man thought to have died in fire 11 years ago found dead in Tokyo

melody. plans to retire in January


A man who believed to have died in a fire in Komaki 11 years ago has turned up dead in Tokyo, sparking a police investigation into the identity of the first victim.

At the time of the fire, a family member identified the victim without realizing that it was someone else, police said.

The fire occurred at a construction company dormitory in Komaki in the predawn hours of April 3, 1998. A male worker suffered burns over his whole body and died about 20 days later. A discarded cigarette was found to have caused the fire.

Police investigators said that up until the man died, he was in hospital, with his face wrapped in bandages, but was able to talk.

However, Komaki Police Station, which received an explanation from the construction company, named someone else as the victim. A family member who lived in the Tohoku region met the victim and testified that he was an elder brother.

But the situation changed when the man who was named dead in the fire turned up dead in his home in Tokyo's Ota-ku at the beginning of this month.

The discovery sparked a renewed police investigation into the identity of the first victim.

The resume that the man who died in Komaki had submitted to the construction company reportedly listed the name and date of birth of the man who died in Tokyo.

Prefectural police said there was a high possibility that the worker had been using the name of the man who died in Tokyo.

Japan teens skipping breakfast have sex younger

There is connection between breakfast and sex?
There is connection between breakfast and sex?


Teens who skip breakfast as middle school students tend to have sex at an earlier age than those who start the day with a proper meal, a government-backed Japanese medical researcher said on Friday.

The link between breakfast and sex probably lies in the teens' family life, said Kunio Kitamura, executive director of the Japan Family Planning Association, who conducted the survey.

The survey examined sexual experiences as well as family relationships and lifestyle habits of Japanese females and males aged 16 to 49. It was carried out in September and was based on about 1,500 people.

The average age of first-time sex for those who said they ate breakfast every day as a middle school student was 19.4, while for those who skipped breakfast, the average age was 17.5.

"The fact that people can't eat breakfast may show something about their family environment," said Kitamura. "Before blaming individuals for having sex at an early age, it may be necessary to look into the sort of homes they are from."

The survey, intended to study how to reduce unwanted pregnancies, also showed the average age of first-time sex was lower for those who found their mother annoying.

People who said they disliked their mother had sex for the first time at the average age of 16, while the average age for those who appreciated their mother was 19, Kitamura said.
