Japanese rules have two procedures to stop the game and to verify the score (these names are my personal, not official).
In the case you mentioned, your opponent has no needs to remove the stones, if he/she thought the stones are dead (exactly speaking, he/she _can_ make the stones dead). So, he/she simply play pass and the game ends. After the end of game, the players can continue play to check the stones are really dead, if necessary. This procedure does not affect the score if the stone are really dead. The idea of Japanese rules is that the players have no need to remove any stones those are dead at the end of game.
