Olympus India MD found dead in Delhi
21 Feb 2012
The managing director of Japan's scam-hit camera major Olympus has been found dead outside his luxury home in Gurgaon near New Delhi this morning in what seems a clear case of suicide.
Tsutomu Omori, 49, was found hanging from iron railings on the perimeter of Icon Appartments in Sushant Lok, bordering a children's park. He lived alone.
Police said he left two notes which appear to be suicide notes written in Japanese. One was in a sealed envelope marked 'confidential' addressed to his family in Japan, while the other was an open note which however the police have not yet managed to translate.
However, it bore the words "I am sorry for bothering you" added in English.
Delhi Police investigating officer Lal Singh told IANS that the Japanese embassy has been informed about the incident.
"Prima facie, the case seems to be of suicide. A language expert has been called to read out the notes found on the spot. Omori had also written a sentence in English," he said.
