<p>So basically, he got stabbed but passed out after killing the detective, then bled to death from his earlier injuries.</p>

<p>He was shown killing Tatsumi, the detective, then the flashback was over.</p>

<p>Nowhere in the anime did it show how <strong>he</strong> died (and came for judgement). <strong>How did he die?</strong></p>

<p>Canonical answers would be appreciated!</p>

Nowhere in the anime did it show how **he** died (and came for judgement). **How did he die?**
