He had been hospitalized since May and undergoing treatment. Cause of death unclear at this time. No date for the funeral yet, since 2016 member of the Nagoya basho organizing oyakata team - I noticed that Iwatomo was missing in the gomen fuda presentation, last on duty there for PR in April (vid), in June shown on TV healthy in an eating contest, a repeat from late last year.
