Domestic & International Media Contact Attempts — Complete Silence and Systematic Shutdown

Over many years, our family repeatedly attempted to alert both domestic and international media to the medical accident, suspicious death, falsified postmortem documents, and the subsequent concealment involving the hospital, police, and legal actors. Despite contacting dozens of major newspapers, TV stations, weekly magazines, and foreign outlets, not a single organization pursued the case.

This page documents those attempts in detail, based on verifiable records such as:

The pattern—universal silence across all media channels—cannot be explained by coincidence.

1. Major Domestic News Outlets Contacted (All Ignored)

Listed below are the major Japanese media organizations we contacted. All were approached multiple times via online forms, email, postal mail, and phone calls, with no meaningful response.

Newspapers

TV Stations

Weekly Magazines / Investigative Outlets

Online Investigative / Independent Media

Result

No outlet followed up.
No questions, no interviews, no requests for documentation.
Not even automated confirmation replies were received from many outlets.

2. Structure of the Complete Media Shutdown

Despite contacting dozens of media outlets across multiple formats — online forms, direct email, postal mail, phone calls, and in-person attempts — not a single outlet responded in a meaningful way.

This silence displayed several notable patterns:

The consistency of these patterns across major organizations suggests not mere coincidence but a systemic information blockade.

3. Case Studies — Detailed Examples of Media Silence

Case 1 — Yomiuri Shimbun (読売新聞)

Yomiuri was contacted repeatedly via:

Reaction:

Yomiuri is Japan’s largest newspaper by circulation; the total silence stands out.

Case 2 — “Sunday Mainichi” Weekly Magazine (サンデー毎日)

This outlet is known historically for investigative reporting. The family submitted:

The result was complete silence. No questions, no confirmation, no follow-up.

This is notable because Sunday Mainichi often publishes medical and judicial investigative pieces.

Other Magazines (文春, 新潮, 現代, FRIDAY, FLASH, etc.)

Across all of them:

These outlets typically react quickly to high-impact investigative leads. The uniform silence is abnormal.

4. Postal Mail Incident — A Sign of Possible Interference

One submission to a domestic media company was returned to the sender unsealed (the glue flap opened) and inside a transparent envelope with a printed note stating:

“Delivered in this condition.”

However, the family is certain the envelope was fully sealed at the time of posting. The contents were intact but appeared to have been handled.

While no conclusion is asserted, the possibility of unauthorized inspection cannot be ruled out.

5. Attempts to Contact Foreign Media via SecureDrop

To avoid domestic suppression, the family submitted detailed case files via SecureDrop to several major international news organizations (names withheld here, but stored in the evidence archive).

Each submission included:

No replies were received from any outlet.

While SecureDrop does not guarantee a response, multiple submissions over years normally yield at least an acknowledgment or follow-up question.

6. Why Did No Media Organization Take Up the Case?

We cannot know the internal decisions of each newsroom. However, when all major outlets — across print, TV, weekly magazines, and online — uniformly ignore a case involving a suspicious death, falsified postmortem documents, and possible institutional misconduct, several hypotheses naturally arise:

We do not assert any single explanation as fact. Rather, we present the observable outcome: no one investigated, no one reported, and the case remained completely invisible to society.

7. What We Are Asking of Journalists and Media Organizations

We are not seeking financial compensation or publicity for ourselves. Our primary goals are:

To that end, we ask journalists and media organizations to:

8. For International Readers

For readers outside Japan, this page may appear to describe a situation that resembles a “media blackout” on a single case involving:
