Default Crayon Shin-chan Creator, Dead?

Quote:
Male remains have been discovered on Saturday morning in the mountains of Gunma Prefecture, the same general area where Crayon Shin-chan creator Yoshito Usui was reportedly going hiking on September 11 when he went missing. Authorities have not identified the remains yet, but they told the TBS television station that the clothing on the remains resemble those of Usui.

It was a tragedy. His dead is confirm by the dental record. It seems like he was taking photo and fall from the cliff.

RIP Usui san.

Quote:
Yoshito Usui, creator and author of the long-running manga series Crayon Shin-chan, was found dead on September 20th at Mt. Arafune in Japan.

He had left for a day-long hiking trip to Gunma Prefecture on September 11th, and was missing for several days before his body was found and identified by authorities on Sunday.

The future of the Shin-chan manga is "to be determined", according to the editorial staff at Futabasha's Manga Town magazine.
