The Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of Gorontalo City Police, Commissioner Leonardo Widharta, explained that from the crime scene investigation (TKP), the police found that the victim had died due to an illness.
Before being found lifeless, the victim had previously consulted with a doctor about the illness along with his family.
“Before this, on Wednesday, the victim went to the doctor. After returning, the family took the victim to Hotel Tenteram for an overnight stay,” said Commissioner Leonardo.
Leonardo continued, after staying overnight, the next day, the victim’s nephew, identified as Andika Cristian Dahlan (29), came to visit the victim at Hotel Tenteram. At the scene, the victim complained to his nephew about chest pain and shortness of breath.
“Initially, the victim and his nephew talked in the room. After that, the victim went out and headed to the hotel terrace, followed by the victim’s nephew,” said Leonardo.
“A short time later, the victim’s nephew saw that the victim was not moving and immediately checked the victim’s condition. Unfortunately, the victim was found lifeless,” added Leo.
Meanwhile, in this incident, the victim’s family no longer requested a post-mortem examination and autopsy for the needs of the police investigation.
“Because the family has no objection, the victim was immediately taken to North Gorontalo for burial,” concluded Commissioner Leonardo Widharta.(*)
