A transgender man in Tokyo was found dead — with his face shaved off — by his son, who was also apparently his lover, according to Crime Feed.
Yoshi Tsuchida was born a woman, but the 38-year-old had undergone a sex change operation and lived his life as a male.
He lived with his 28-year-old adopted son, whose name has not been released, according to the New York Daily News.
The son, who was reportedly taking female hormones, found Tsuchida's body wrapped in a blanket with a plastic bag over his face, which had been "skinned off by a knife," according to police, reported the Japan Times.
"When I woke up, my father was bleeding from the face," said the young man.
Apparently, the two had not only been father and son, but were in a romantic relationship as well, according to reports. And the relationship was a turbulent one. The police received several complaints earlier this year from neighbors who could hear shouting coming from their apartment.
