Just a Rumor but One of the Japan Coast Guard Officers Dead

Japan's china Issue No.111: Three photos possibly depicting death of the Japan Coast Guard officer have been uploaded with the comments in Japanese.

It appears that an officer working at Ishigaki Coast Guard office has been dead.

Three photos taken at 15:30 on November 6 clearly show front part of a Japanese wooden coffin loaded on a van, men in funeral costumes waiting for the doors to be opened next to the van carrying a wooden coffin on and Japan Coast Guard Patrol vessel Mizuki with a mourning band (collided by the Chinese trawler on September 7).

＞先週6日の15時半頃、石垣海上保安本部に棺が運びこまれました。 ＞また喪服の関係者らしき方々が出入りしていたという情報も併せて聞いています。


The above photos with comments in Japanese may prove that the rumor described below is not just a rumor but a fact.

The rumor in question:

There has been a rumor going on that when arresting Chinese trawler captain, one of the coast guard officers was pushed into the sea and was harpooned by the captain resisting the arrest while desperately swimming by the Chinese trawler. The rumor further says that the officer recently died of the wounds he had suffered when harpooned by the Chinese trawler captain.


If the death of the officer is true and it is related to the arrest of the Chinese trawler captain, one could easily assume that this is the only reason why Kan Administration has been refusing to make public the rest of 3 hrs and 30 min videos.
