The report additionally also mentioned that Nakamura had been experiencing poor health for the past month. After receiving treatment in a hospital, she got a positive diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. This is a disease that causes inflammation and ulcers in the large intestine and colon, however, there’s no cure for it.
