The body of Yanto Idorway, a presenter for TVRI Papua Barat, has been recovered after he was swept away by river currents. A comprehensive search and rescue operation, involving personnel from the Indonesian Army (TNI), National Police (Polri), the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas), and local community members, successfully located his remains.

Idorway's body was found in the Memti River, located within the Arfak Mountains Regency. The discovery brings a conclusion to the search efforts that were launched after he was reported missing. The exact circumstances leading to him being swept away are not detailed, but the recovery marks the end of the immediate search phase.

The recovery of the presenter's body provides closure for his family and colleagues, though the incident itself underscores the potential dangers associated with navigating natural waterways.
