Was this person killed by someone else at the end of "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas"?


I just finished _Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai_ the movie as well as the manga. I
found out that the main heroine (Sakura Yamaguchi) was found dead with a knife
on her chest.

I’m wondering if she got killed by someone and if so, who was that and why did
he/she do so?

My guess: I strongly believe that her ex-boyfriend murdered her.




**Yes, the main heroine was killed by a random slasher unknown to the main
character**.

The murderer's name was never mentioned in all media (light novel, live-action
film, manga, anime movie), but it's the random slasher that has been mentioned
a few times in the story (in the newspaper, on the TV news). It's unknown to
the main character as he said,

> 山内桜良は、以前から世間を騒がせていた通り魔事件に巻き込まれた。どこの誰だかも知らない犯人は、すぐに捕まった。
>
> Sakura Yamauchi got dragged into the random slasher
> ([通り魔](https://jisho.org/word/%E9%80%9A%E3%82%8A%E9%AD%94)) case that has
> been disturbing the society since then. The culprit whom I don't know was
> quickly arrested.

Since this is a random slasher case, there's no particular reason why they
were attacking someone: **she was just happened to be in the wrong place at
the wrong time**.

That said, the point of that scene is not about who the murderer was or why
she was murdered, but why it happened despite the main topic about "pancreas".
