The Japanese actor was found unresponsive on Saturday in his home in Tokyo.

He was rushed to hospital but was later pronounced dead.

According to NHK News, Miura was discovered by his manager, who went to his home when the actor did not show up for work.

Tokyo Metropolitan Police are currently investigating his death, but believe his cause of death to be suicide.

After getting leading roles in Tokyo Park and Five Minutes To Tomorrow on the big screen, he landed the role of Eren Yeager in the Attack On Titan film series, in which he starred alongside Queer Eye star Kiko Mizuhara. 

His last film, Brave: Gunjō Senki, is set to be released in 2021, while Gift Of Fire, in which he had a leading role, has yet to be given a release date.
