Police on Tuesday were questioning the three flatmates on what happened.
And the police strongly suspect he died of suicide or natural causes.

possible suicide eh? jeez, I'd have to rule that out too, that's almost unheard of here.

Flatmates?? Room mates?? Why?? Most Japanese never live with others like this, it all sounds very strange.

@Elbuda Mexicano: The article doesn't specify their nationalities, they might not be Japanese.

I've heard the policy is not to open a homicide investigation unless it's fairly obvious who the perpetrator is. This is the reason the statistics for crimes solved look so good. Man hours too would be spent more efficiently I suppose.
