【英语国际】奥林巴斯驻印度高管死亡 疑为自杀

The managing director in India for Japan's Olympus Medical Systems India Pvt. Ltd. was found dead in an apparent suicide Monday in a children's park at a high-rise apartment complex in Gurgaon, a satellite city of India's capital.

Tsutomi Omori, a Japanese national, was found hanging from the iron railings of a boundary wall inside a children's park at the 'DLF The Icon' apartment complex at around 8.30 a.m. Monday, according to police.

A police official said two suicide notes written in Japanese were found near his body. 'One was addressed to his family, which the Japanese embassy officials refused to translate, the other note was translated as saying, 'I regret my decision,'' said Maheshwar Dyal, deputy commissioner of police (east) for Gurgaon police.

Mr. Dyal added that Mr. Omori's body was moved to a mortuary. The Japanese embassy in New Delhi and Mr. Omori's family in Japan have been informed of the incident.

The Japanese embassy in New Delhi confirmed that police have reported the incident to the embassy but declined to give details about the suicide note saying that 'it was a private matter' and that the 'matter is under investigation.'

Police added that a post mortem is likely to be conducted soon on Mr. Omori's body.

Olympus Corp. set up Olympus Medical Systems India Pvt. Ltd., which deals in medical-imaging equipment, to 'further growth in its medical business in the Indian market,' the company's website said. The new company began operations on April 1, 2010.

Japanese camera-maker Olympus Corp. has been at the center of a major accounting scandal recently. Authorities in Tokyo last week arrested three Olympus executives that the company said were the main people responsible for hiding more than $1.5 billion in investment losses for 13 years. There was no immediate indication that Mr. Omori's suicide was in any way related to the scandal. -By Diksha Sahni, The Wall Street Journal; Diksha.Sahni@wsj.com

日本企业奥林巴斯医疗系统印度有限公司(Olympus Medical Systems India Pvt. Ltd.)驻印度董事总经理周一被发现死亡，疑为自杀。死亡地点位于印度首都新德里卫星城古尔冈(Gurgaon)一高层公寓社区内的一个儿童乐园。

据警方说，周一上午8点30分左右，有人发现日本公民Tsutomi Omori吊死在公寓社区“DLF The Icon”一个儿童乐园内一面围 的铁栅栏上。

警方一位官员说，遗体旁边发现有两份用日文书写的自杀遗书。古尔冈警方负责东部地区的副警长迪亚尔(Maheshwar Dyal)说，一份遗书是写给家人的，日本使馆官员拒绝翻译；另一份遗书据翻译是说“我后悔我的决定”。

迪亚尔还说，Omori的遗体已被转移至太平间。日本驻印度大使馆和Omori在日本的家人已被告知此事。

日本驻印度大使馆确认警方已将此事报告使馆方面，但拒绝透露自杀遗书细节，说它属于私人事务，且事情还在调查。

警方还说，不久可能对死者遗体进行尸检。

奥林巴斯集团(Olympus Corp.)网站显示，该公司成立奥林巴斯医疗系统印度公司负责医疗成像设备的经营，目的是进一步推进其医疗业务在印度市场的成长。新的公司于2010年4月1日开始运营。

日本相机生产商奥林巴斯集团最近发生一桩重大会计丑闻。东京当局上周逮捕了奥林巴斯三位高管，据该公司说，这三人是13年内隐瞒逾15亿美元投资亏损的主要负责人。暂时没有迹象表明Omori的自杀与这桩丑闻有任何关系。
