Ai Iijima died of poisoning?
Channel NewsAsia - Tuesday, December 30
The sudden death of Japanese ex-pornography actress Ai Iijima shocked the world and brought much doubts. Though her actual cause of death has not been able to reach a conclusion yet, various sources believe she was poisoned. In paying tribute to Iijima, a Japanese variety show showcased her past works, and specially arranged a seat on the guests'panel for "her".
Iijima's body was sent for post mortem on Christmas Day but forensic doctors were unable to determine the cause of her death as it was highly decomposed. A detailed autopsy results will be released two to three weeks later. At the same time, a former Tokyo supervising medical director holds different views on Iijima's death. He pointed out that Iijima might be in an abnormal state of mind which led her to take medicine with alcohol, leading to poisoning.
According to reports, Iijima had records of walking into a police post near her apartment alone in January 2008, telling the police on duty, "I am so lonely and my mind is in a whirl." She also said it was caused by pills she had taken.
Iijima's family held a private burial ceremony in Tokyo on Dec 26 for her.As the post mortem was unable to determine the cause of her death, a deeper investigation is thus necessary and will require more time.
