Relatives of a 102-year-old man who committed suicide in 2011 said they will file a damages suit Wednesday against Tokyo Electric Power Co. for the mental agony he suffered in being forced out of his life-long home by the Fukushima nuclear crisis.

A total of ¥60 million will be sought against Tepco by three relatives of Fumio Okubo, who was found dead in his home in the village of Iitate, Fukushima Prefecture, about a month after the crisis began at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear complex in March 2011.

Iitate, located about 40 km northwest of the plant, is where Okubo was born and lived his entire life. An evacuation order was issued for the area on April 22, 2011, and is still in force.
