Jakarta police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Sutrimo, a 42-year-old man from Central Java, who was found deceased on Thursday, July 23, 2026. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have not yet concluded the cause of death.
Because the process is still ongoing, we cannot yet conclude the cause of death.
According to preliminary information, Sutrimo was the head of household at the residence of Febrie Adriansyah, the former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes. On the day of his death, Sutrimo reportedly complained of feeling unwell to a colleague and requested to be taken to a nearby clinic. While at the clinic, he allegedly began vomiting foam.
His colleague then called for an ambulance. However, by the time emergency services arrived, Sutrimo had already passed away. Police are meticulously collecting statements from family members, ambulance drivers, hospital staff, and other individuals who may have relevant information. They are also examining medical records and details related to the ambulance booking and the location where Sutrimo was found.
Still being investigated.
Authorities are also exploring any potential connections Sutrimo may have had with other individuals, including the former high-ranking official. The clinic where Sutrimo was taken is reportedly no longer in operation and has been closed for some time. Police are urging the public to refrain from speculation and to await verified information from the investigation.
We will convey the developments of the investigation results after obtaining facts that can be accounted for.
