A decomposed body was found at the house of Japanese actress Tono Nagiko on July 3. However, more than 7 days have passed but the identity of the unfortunate person has not been announced.
Some newspapers suspected that the main victim was Nagiko as she had been missing since June 27. However, up to now, the investigation agency has kept the information confidential.
According to the initial announcement of the police, the body was in a state of serious decomposition due to high temperatures, unidentified with the naked eye. They conducted DNA testing to verify their identity.
At that time, public opinion hoped the police would soon issue a result, but many days later, no new information was announced.
Criminal journalist Ogawa Taihei believes that DNA testing is likely to have been completed a long time ago, as these results can usually be completed in one day if there is cooperation from relatives.
Even when the body is decomposed, methods such as tooth analysis or other body characteristics still allow for quick recognition. It is unusual to continue for more than a week without announcing his identity.
Ogawa proposed that the reason was that the investigation agency determined that this was not a criminal case, so there was no basis to publicize the victim's identity.
Meanwhile, Tono Nagiko's former management company was not responsible for verification because she terminated her contract in September 2024 and operated independently.
Tono himself also revealed that he had cut off his family, lived alone, and had no relatives to take care of him. This means that no individual or organization took the initiative to confirm the information to her.
As previously published information, the person who discovered the unusual incident at Tono's apartment was a maid. This person has not been able to contact the actress for a while.
Meanwhile, on June 26, Tono Nagiko posted information that she was diagnosed with depression and was preparing to start a new treatment. After that, she completely lost contact, making many fans worried.
