As of 2025, Issei Sagawa is dead (he died of pneumonia in late 2022). His death did not kill the PDF. If anything, it immortalized it. The file remains a digital ghost, passed from hard drive to hard drive, shared in hushed Reddit threads and obscure Discord servers.
The case of Issei Sagawa is a chilling reminder of the darkness that can exist within human beings. The "In the Fog" PDF provides a detailed account of his crimes, offering readers a unique perspective on the psychology of a serial killer.
Perhaps the most difficult aspect of reading In the Fog is the total lack of genuine remorse. Sagawa expresses regret for the "mess" and the trouble caused, but he rarely offers a sincere apology to the victim’s family. Instead, he focuses on his own "suffering" and his internal psychological "fog."
The book highlights the extreme objectification of the victim. In Sagawa’s eyes, Renée Hartevelt is not a human being with a future, but a symbol of perfection to be possessed. The book is a prime example of the "male gaze" taken to its most lethal extreme—total ownership through destruction.
