On the night of August 31 my older brother began to vomit badly. He said, "I'm badly sick. Oh, help!" Writhing in agony for all night, next early morning he went into spasm and died.
Just before his death, that is to say, about one hour before, my older sister died, saying, "My wound pains. My wound pains." My brother had suffered from A-bomb illness and a lot of black speckles had appeared all over his body. My sister and brother died on September 1.
Then my father was in bed because of feeling tired. Just after he walked to the rest room, he fainted. He died September 2.
Since three of my family had died, I thought, "How terrible! I would be at a loss, if Mother died and I were left alone." By that time we had known the fact, if black speckles appeared on the body, we would die. I asked my mother, "Haven't you got any black speckles on your body?" Then I found some on her body. I was very anxious about her.
My mother died on the evening of September 6. Many black speckles had appeared on her body.
