According to fellow voice actors, Gōri was diagnosed with
diabetes mellitus a few years prior to his death and his vision was affected by
retinal detachment as a result of the disease. He complained to coworkers, "I cannot read the script. I cannot work as I want." (「台本が読めない。思うように仕事ができない。」) During an Anpanman recording session in late 2009, a depressed-sounding Gōri told his close friend and voice actor
Kazuhiko Inoue, "I've grown old" (「もう年だよ」).[3]
On January 17, 2010 at approximately 3:00 P.M., Gōri was found lying on his stomach with blood dripping from his wrists in the middle of a street in
Nakano, Tokyo by a passerby, who then notified the police. Authorities from the
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Nakano station discovered a
utility knife under his body as well as a
suicide note (with the words "I'm sorry" (ごめんね) and "Thank you" (ありがとう) scrawled on it) addressed to his family in his pants pocket. Gōri's death was then ruled a
suicide; he was three weeks short of his 58th birthday.[3][4] His ongoing roles were replaced primarily by
Ryūzaburō Ōtomo and the late
Unshō Ishizuka.
