Death
On the morning of May 16 2002, Arai committed suicide in Mizumoto Park in the Katsushika Ward of Tokyo, hanging himself using the neck-tie of his business suit. He was found by a jogger at 6:20 AM. Arai's death led to an insurance payment to his ex-wife and child. However, the life insurance that Arai's ex-wife and child received was still not enough, and years later the Arai family was still paying back the money owed to the Yakuza.

Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest.”
