In September 1945 Hirao asked Tanaka whether it was true that a Prisoner's body had been preserved. Tanaka answered no. Hirao then said he was certain that a body of one of the Prisoner's had been preserved. Tanaka saw the janitor Takata, who said that a body or perhaps bodies had been preserved, but that the injection had not been done properly and the body had spoiled so it had been cremated a long time ago.
