Illness Suffered

The police also examined witnesses, including a witness with the initials U who met the victim the day before. The victim told U that he could not sleep because of acid reflux.

“On Thursday night, May 14, 2026, at around 21.00 WIB, witness U met the victim who said he could not sleep because of acid reflux,” he said.

The family also explained that the victim had complained about his acid reflux. Therefore, in this incident, the family refused an autopsy.

“The family stated that the victim had previously said goodbye because he could not bear the pain of acid reflux and the family refused to have an autopsy,” he said.

The Victim Was Recently Appointed as a PPPK Employee

The Head of Margoagung, Djarwo Suharto, when confirmed, said that the victim was actually a resident of Gunungkidul. However, because he was recently appointed as a PPPK employee of Sleman Regency, the victim returned to live in his hometown.

“He was recently appointed as a PPPK at the Department of Public Works. Automatically, they have to work in the Sleman Regency Government. So the deceased returned to his hometown because his mother is still here,” said Djarwo.
