Sorry, no disrespect for his family or anyone who survives him, but I just don't trust a single pseudonymous tweet as proof:
No official confirmation whatsoever and they are blocking anyone asking them to disclose the LE number in Japan they called.

Has anyone actually tried to contact the American embassy/consulate in Japan to get an official confirmation that an American native in Japan who is a public figure online has actually committed suicide and his body/remains will be repatriated to the US?

All in all, has anyone tried to get an actual formal/official confirmation from Japan that this American living in Tokyo is actually dead and whether his remains will be repatriated to the US?
I am reading all sorts of things in the social media but I haven't seen any hard confirmation, just a lot of websites linking to a single pseudonymous tweet. Perhaps someone who actually speaks Japanse can contact the Marunouchi Police Station and ask? It's the police station nearest to where he supposedly lived in Tokyo.
This is the Twitter account of the Japanese ambassador in the US: https://twitter.com/JapanEmbDC
Perhaps someone who speaks Japanese can contact them to ask what the proper procedure is for confirming the death/suicide of an American public figure living in Japan?
Perhaps someone who speaks Japanese can contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan and as about the proper procedure for confirm the death of an American public figure in Japan?

I don't speak any Japanese myself or I would've done this research on my own.
