The father of actors Eita (28) and Kento Nagayama (21) has passed away at the age of 55. On Wednesday night, he was found hanged in a room in his own home, in what appears to be a suicide.

He was discovered by his older sister (57), who lives with him. At around 7:05pm on February 16, the sister called 119, and an ambulance took him to the hospital. Unfortunately, he was declared dead about an hour and a half later.

A memo, apparently a suicide note, was left behind in the room.

No other details are known at this time.
