I went to the newspaper delivery around 3:00 am on the 6th of this month when it was heavy rain, and then I lost my whereabouts.

Police seemed to have washed away in the Hasegawa river near their homes, and they were searching mainly in the lower reaches.

The police are looking at the body as Mr. Jinno to confirm the identity.
