In reply to the discussion: Masao Yoshida Dead: Former Chief Of Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Dies At 58 [View all]RobertEarl
(13,685 posts)46. Haha, you're funny. NOT
I will speculate this:
It is quite obvious that the man died from some form of radiation poisoning.
Don't know if he smoked or drank, as you speculate. Do know he had a brain tumor in 2011 and was forced to retire then.
He was most like severely radiated when Fukushima blew sky high, not just once but three times, and continues to spew today, over two years later.
In the interest of science, any science based person would endeavor to uncover the facts about the man's medical history. But all we are left with is the word of the liars from Tepco.

I wonder how all those samurais individuals are doing. Anyone know if they're dead, alive or ill?

RIP. May not be the radiation but it sounds like the accident may have done him in.
