  • Forensic doctors are investigating the claim that Sutrimo's body exuded foam from his mouth and nose upon death.
  • While the foam was reported, it was not present during the exhumation.
  • Doctors are awaiting lab results from toxicology, DNA, and histopathology tests to determine the cause of death.

Forensic doctors are investigating reports that Sutrimo's body emitted foam from his mouth and nose when he was found unresponsive and later declared dead. "Indeed, the information we received was that Sutrimo's body exuded foam from his nose and mouth when he died. However, when we exhumed it, it was no longer there," stated the head of the forensic doctor team, Prof. Yudi. The team has taken swabs for laboratory analysis to determine if any residue from the foam remains. "We are awaiting the laboratory results, whether from toxicology, DNA examination, or histopathology," Yudi added. Previously, the forensic team found no signs of blunt or sharp force trauma during a visual examination of Sutrimo's body. "From the external and internal examination, visually we did not find any signs of wounds caused by blunt or sharp force," Yudi said. However, he confirmed that samples were collected for further examination to ascertain the cause of death. The Metro Jaya Regional Police conducted an exhumation of Sutrimo's body in Banyumas, Central Java, as part of the investigation to gather medical and scientific evidence. Separately, a lawyer for former Attorney General's Special Task Force head Febrie Adriansyah denied that Sutrimo was a "head of household" (Karumga), stating he primarily maintained an empty house and occasionally took other jobs.
