Default Yoshito Usui dead at 51
(Should this go in Off Topic Discussions?)

I'm not sure if enough people on MTS read Crayon Shin Chan, but the author is now deceased.

The only good source I found was in Japanese here), but eh:

Quote:
On September 12, 2009, Usui's family reported him missing from his hometown of Kasukabe when Usui did not return from hiking in nearby Gunma Prefecture. Saitama Prefecture Police began searching for him at the family's request on September 15 and expanded their search to nearby prefectures.

On September 19, 2009, a body with clothes matching those described in the report filed by Usui's family was found at the bottom of a cliff in the Mount Arafune of the Gunma Prefecture. The body was identified by dental records and family members the next day as being that of Usui.


It's all over the newspapers. I loved his comic books (I read the ones translated from Japanese to Chinese).
