Local leader thought man found dead was only unconscious

Sutrimo, a 42-year-old household head, was discovered deceased with foam emanating from his mouth and nose on Thursday, July 23, 2026, outside the Mordent Beauty Clinic in South Jakarta.

“

I did not know what happened and did not see (the victim at the time of death).

The local neighborhood head, Imah, stated she did not witness the event and only received information that someone had fainted. She did not investigate further, assuming the person had recovered. She only learned of Sutrimo's death after being contacted by the police. Imah also mentioned she did not recognize Sutrimo and that the beauty clinic had been vacant for a long time, though she was unsure of the exact period it ceased operations.

“

Because there was no report from my residents, I thought the person had already recovered.

However, a resident living near the clinic reported occasionally seeing people entering and exiting the building, though their identities remained unknown. A local security officer suggested a possible connection between the clinic and former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, a detail investigators are pursuing.

“

As the process is ongoing, we cannot yet conclude the cause of death.

Jakarta Police spokesperson, Police Commissioner Grandy Budi Hermanto, confirmed that investigators are still examining the chronology of Sutrimo's death. "As the process is ongoing, we cannot yet conclude the cause of death," Budi stated on Sunday, July 26, 2026. Investigators are gathering statements from the victim's family, ambulance crew, hospital staff, and others familiar with the incident. They are also reviewing Sutrimo's medical records, ambulance booking details, and the location where he was found.

Still being investigated.
