According to the investigative sources, Miura was found at his condominium in Tokyo's Minato Ward and was later confirmed dead at a hospital. The Metropolitan Police Department of Tokyo suggests as per the circumstances that he committed suicide.

His manager found his lifeless body as he went to the actor's home to check why he didn't report to work. Shocked, he found the actor hanging in a closet, the sources said. There also appeared to be an apparent suicide note that was left in his room.

Miura's management company, Amuse Inc., released a statement, "To fans and people concerned, we apologize for the worry and the inconvenience caused. But as to details, we are still confirming and will inform you once again."
