Tokyo-based securities house, which was involved in corporate takeover deals by
Japanese Internet firm Livedoor Co., was found dead on Wednesday night, Kyodo
News reported Thursday.
Police suspected that Hideaki Noguchi, the vice
president of H.S. Securities Co. committed suicide, Kyodo News said, adding that
he was found dead in Naha, Okinawa Prefecture.
H.S. Securities was one of the companies raided by
prosecutors in connection with investigations into alleged fraudulent practices
by Livedoor and its group companies, the Kyodo News said.
Reports as to Livedoor's
wrongdoing kept coming up. On Wednesday, the Tokyo Stock Exchange suspended
trading of all listed shares 20 minutes earlier than usual due to flooding
orders from investors triggered by the Livedoor incident.
