Very sad.

I wonder if that subdural hematoma was the consequence of him hitting his head on something as the result of a fall. 

Extremely talented guy. I love the Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z series.

I shared the news of his death with my two sons, currently in Singapore, as I had for years shared the adventures of 孫悟空 with them. Toriyama's universe, deeply rooted in Shintô, is one of the most beautiful things that came to us from Japan after 1945. I am deeply sad.

All we have to do now is find all the dragon balls and wish him back. (Meant with all due respect.)

It would be great, but remember that dragon balls turn to stone and no longer work when its creator/god dies.

I was a big fan since always, my mom used to put me in front of the television when I was 2 years old when Dragon Ball came out in the afternoon.
