Japanese AV queen Ai饭岛 committed suicide at home.

According to Japanese media reports, Japanese female star Ai Matsushima was found dead in her home in Tokyo at 15:15 today. The preliminary determination is suicide.

Ai Matsushima was born in 1972 in Kameido, Koto-ku, Tokyo. In 1992, she participated in the performance of the "Tiny Panties Ai" episode of the late-night program "Tokyo Erotic School" on Tokyo TV. In this program, she lifted her skirt herself to reveal her tiny panties, and thus became famous overnight, being crowned as the "Queen of Tiny Panties," and thus entered the Japanese entertainment industry. Afterwards, Ai Matsushima specialized in receiving variety show notifications, serving as a regular member in variety shows such as "Gender Detective Team" on Asahi TV, "Sunday Japan" on TBS TV, and "Flame Challenger" on Tokyo TV, showcasing her "sharp-tongued" skills. In 2001, she played the Spider Demoness in the Chinese drama "Monkey King - A Hero Is Born," starring Damian Lau (Zhang Weijian).

In October 2000, Ai Matsushima published a semi-autobiographical novel titled "Platonic Sexual Love," which narrated her experience of contracting sexually transmitted diseases due to acting in adult videos and her motivation for undergoing plastic surgery. It sold over a million copies in Japan. At the same time, Ai Matsushima also wrote the column "Ai Matsushima's Jinshicho Wind Stamp Tax Life" for the "Weekly Asahi." On March 3, 2007, Japanese media reported that Ai Matsushima had withdrawn from the Japanese entertainment industry due to health issues such as hay fever, back pain, kidney dysfunction, and cystitis. On February 24, 2008, Ai Matsushima mentioned on her personal blog that she had contracted Helicobacter pylori, while also admitting that she had been taking antidepressants for nearly two months to combat mental illness. On November 30 of the same year, she wrote in her essay about feeling lonely often and other melancholic content.

At 3:15 PM on the 24th, Ai Matsushima was found dead in her home in Shibuya, Tokyo, at the age of 36. The Shibuya Police Department is investigating the cause of death, with the preliminary determination being suicide.

Regarding the news that Ai Matsushima's body was found in her apartment on the 24th, all major Japanese media have already provided rapid news updates. Although the police have ruled out the possibility of homicide, they speculate that Ai Matsushima might have committed suicide or died of illness. However, since the results of the police autopsy have not yet been announced, the true cause of death cannot be determined. Various Japanese media outlets have speculated on the cause of Ai Matsushima's death based on the information they obtained, leading to various theories that are quite inconsistent.

The sports newspaper SANSPORT emphasized in its report that Ai Matsushima had publicly confessed to suffering from depression in February this year and wrote in her blog on November 30 that she felt lonely, implying the possibility of suicide. Meanwhile, the Japanese TV station highlighted in its televised news broadcast that Ai Matsushima retired from the entertainment industry last March due to physical discomfort, suggesting that there was "a possibility of dying from illness, although the details are still unknown." However, other major Japanese private television stations, Fuji TV, TBS, and Asahi TV, do not support the "disease-related death theory," believing that the possibility of suicide is greater. NHK, the national Japanese TV station, even speculated on the possibility of murder based on Ai Matsushima's financial problems.

Amidst all the chaos, the exact reason for Ai Matsushima's death will only become clear once the police investigation results are released. Further information about Ai Matsushima can be found on the South China Information Network at http://vcm.net.cn/.
