Koshi Maeda, 74, who lived alone, was declared dead at the scene body was fully clothed and lying face down on the floor with visible injuries inflicted on his body, indicating he had been beaten about the head. My only thinking would be at 74 years old, no mentioning of him be employed and living alone gives me the feeling he was murdered because of bad loans and too much debt that he could not pay back.
