Ambassador dies in hospital

JAPAN'S ambassador-designate to China, Shinichi Nishimiya, died in a Tokyo hospital yesterday, three days after he was found unconscious in the street.

Doctors were looking into the cause of death, foreign ministry official Takashi Ariyoshi said in a statement, but no other details were available.

Nishimiya, 60, was found unconscious on a street near his home on his way to work.

He was to have left for Beijing in mid-October to take over from Uichiro Niwa as Japan's top envoy in China.
