On May 2nd 9:00 am, former X JAPAN's guitarist, Matsumoto Hideto
(hide), was officially pronounced dead by authorities. He was found in
Minamiazabu, Minato-ku in Tokyo by his family. hide-san was transfered
to the hospital immediately, but doctors couldn't save him... The police
are now investigating the motives of his suicide.
According to the investigation, hide-san was found hanging by the neck
from a towel hanging from the bathroom's doorknob. Apparently, hide-
san had taken one of his bathroom towels, ripped it in half along the
lenght and tied the two ends together to make a long rope. He tied one
end around the door knob, the other around his neck and hung himself,
still in the t-shirt and shorts that he had worn to bed. hide-san had just
gone to bed, coming home from a night out with his brother, both of
them completely drunk. hide-san's brother got him back to his home
around 6:30 AM, made sure he would be allright and left, certain that
hide-san would go straight to bed. After an hour or so, his roommate
started to worry and went to check up on him, finding him on the floor of
the bathroom, still alive. Investigators found neither good bye letter, nor
signs of struggle...
