Natural death? its natural to have an injured face and blood coming from the forehead?

I wonder how long it will take the cops to question his kids or spouse? Have the koban boys in blue figured out that they should be the prime suspects yet?

Natural death perhaps, or someone was visiting him to grab some cash. 'We will see the blind said.' Hope that media will keep informing us.

"blood coming from his forehead and nose, and injuries to his face"

"there was no evidence of any struggle"

What about the blood coming from his forehead and nose and the injuries to his face?

Too many questions here and not enough answers. I hope the J cops find out who did this to him and soon!
