At first, the Burmese junta said he was hit by a stray bullet, but video frames obtained by the Oslo based Democratic Voice of Burma showed a soldier throwing him to the ground and shooting him point blank. A loud shot was heard on the video tape as he was flung backwards and fell on his back.
A Japanese embassy physician ascertained that a bullet entered Nagai's chest, traveled through his heart and exited via his back.
Nagai is pronounced "Nar Gi Yee" -- Gi rhyming with "I"
Earlier reports said he "died later" and was still alive in first video frame which shows his right arm up still holding a camera. It was not certain where his remains were, or what happened to his camera.
