Businessman found dead

JAKARTA (JP): A 63-year-old businessman was found dead with a
shawl tied around his neck in a boardinghouse on Jl. Angkasa
Dalam I in Central Jakarta yesterday, police said.

The body of Djuwardi Giyanto had began to decompose. He was
believed to have died about three days ago but the cause of death
is yet to be determined.

One of the deceased's relatives, who asked for anonymity, said
that Djuwardi might have committed suicide. He said Djuwardi
looked depressed after quarreling with his wife several days ago.

Police broke down Djuwardi's door after a relative called them
for assistance. Residents had also complained of a putrid smell
coming from the room.

The relative said that Djuwardi, who lived in a room on the
second floor of the house, had not been seen for several days.

"I did not dare open his door. So I called the police for
help," he said. He quoted police as saying that Djuwardi might
have died two or three days ago.

Djuwardi's body was sent to Cipto Mangunkusumo General
Hospital for postmortem examination. (ivy)
