The first death was confirmed in the February 13 earthquake in northeastern Japan

A man in his 50s was killed at his home in the northeastern Japanese city of Fukushima, the first confirmed death in a powerful earthquake that struck the region earlier this month, the local government said Thursday.

According to the city, the man was found buried under furniture on Tuesday by a family member who visited the man’s house after he was unable to reach it.

A damaged house was seen in Kure, Fukushima Prefecture, on February 15, 2021, after a 7.3-magnitude earthquake hit northeastern Japan on February 13 (Kyodo) == Kyodo

The city determined that he was killed in the recent earthquake, as it is estimated that he died around 11:07 pm on February 13 when a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck.

The quake scored less than 6 on the Japanese seismic intensity scale of 7 for the city. The upper 6 level was measured in other parts of Fukushima and Miyagi prefectures, which along with Iwate Prefecture were struck by a devastating earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 that killed more than 15,000 people.

The recent earthquake, believed to follow the massive earthquake in 2011, injured 185 people in 10 prefectures in northeast and eastern Japan and damaged 3,112 homes in Fukushima, Miyagi and Yamagata prefectures, according to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency.
