Sad, wonder what the root of the trouble was, possible financial issues.

What’s up with Okinawa?
People coming there to die now, instead of the Fuji Forest?

Did he feel guilty for killing the woman? I don't believe she wanted to die if she had several injuries on her body. That sounds like he became too rough with her.
Interesting thing about Japan is that people are not arrested in the hospital. In America, you would still be considered under arrest even while you are receiving your treatment at the medical facility.
