A Japanese chef was allegedly killed over a simple noodle dinner that was allegedly prepared poorly for two customers.

Miki Nozawa, a 57-year-old Japanese chef working in Germany, died on Monday as a result of injuries he purportedly sustained from two disgruntled diners he served at a restaurant on the North Sea island of Sylt, according to the Australian Associated Press.

The poorly prepared dish in question was fried noodles with beef and vegetables.

According to the German newspaper Sylter Rundschau, Nozawa's wife said that her husband died of "severe brain injuries and internal bleeding" he sustained during a Sunday night altercation.

"My ex-husband was not aggressive, absolutely good-natured man," she said, according to a Huffington Post translation of the report. "He never would have started a fight."

The two diners aged 36 and 50, allegedly left the restaurant without paying for their meal and ran into the chef later where the altercation ensued. Nozawa was rushed to intensive care but doctors were unable to save Nozawa from his injuries.

The two suspects were arrested but then later released due to lack of evidence according to the Australian Associated Press. It is unknown if the men are locals or were vacationing. Sylt is a very popular vacation destination for the wealthy.

The 57-year-old died in the intensive care unit of a local hospital on the German island of Sylt. Nowaza's cause of death is still unknown and pending on the autopsy results.

Nowaza was a highly regarded celebrity chef, and had cooked for Mikhail Gorbachev, Denzel Washington and Phil Collins, just to name a few.
