After wrapping a rescue robe around his wife... Kumamoto, an 81-year-old man who died

After wrapping a rescue robe around my wife's hand... An 81-year-old man who died Kumamoto 7th July 19:28

Mr. Saburo Inoue (81) from Shimosatsumase-cho, Hitoyoshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, died in a muddy stream when he left his house to try to evacuate because of the heavy rain that caused the Kuma River to overflow.

According to his wife Setsuko-san and his eldest daughter, Saburo lived with two married couples at about 9 am on the 4th of this month when he left the house to evacuate, and was flooded by the Kuma River and flooded with water from the canals. I got stuck and wound up the rope thrown by the residents of the neighborhood and helped Setsuko-san wrap it around her.

Saburo was loved by the people around him for his warm and gentle personality, and because he and his wife were taking a walk every day in a park in Hitoyoshi City, it was said that the neighbors sometimes called him "Oshidori Maru".

My wife, Setuko, said, “I always go out and have been relying on my husband for a long time, so I wonder what would happen if I were alone. I left my remains at Kyoji Temple and said good-bye, I'm still shaking my eyes," he said.

I was finally rescued from the water...

In Sashiki, Ashikita Town, Kumamoto Prefecture, record heavy rains flooded the water of the Sashi River that flowed through the town, and Tamiko Sakai, who was at home, was killed (82).

According to Taeko Ose, Sakai's elder sister, she rescued Sakai, who lives next door from the window, because heavy rain brought water into her house at that time.

The two of us decided to wait together for help at Ose's one-story home on the first floor, but after that, the water rushed in and reached my chest, and I could not move.

Approximately 5 hours after the neighbors came by boat and soaked in water at around 9 am on the 4th, the two were rescued, but Sakai-san's lips were purple and conscious.

Mr. Sakai was subsequently taken to the hospital, but he never returned.

Mr. Ose said, “Since it was soaked in water in a blink of an eye around 3:30 am, I broke the ceiling so that I could breathe, so that it would not be washed away. I tried my best not to let go of it, but my sister ran out of power. I can't put my feelings into words."

Regarding Mr. Sakai's personality, Mr. Ose said, "I had the exact opposite personality from me, and I had a very active personality like a boy since I was a child. I was a sister who talked to each other, but I was good friends." ..
