What happened to him during and after the incident is currently unknown. He was believed to be deceased by his family, though his body was never found. It was his involvement with the murder case that prompted his first son [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] to join the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] in order to investigate what happened to him, and his assumed death led Shuichi to seek vengeance against those responsible. | |
