Issei Sagawa, a Japanese writer known for killing a fellow Dutch student in Paris in 1981, died late last month due to pneumonia, his brother said. He was 73. Sagawa, who died Nov. 24 at a Tokyo hospital, made headlines after he shot the Dutch student whom he had invited to his home and cannibalized her while studying in the French capital.
