Gusmiati Suid in intensive care

JAKARTA (JP): Prominent choreographer Gusmiati Suid was still
under intensive care at the Medistra hospital in South Jakarta on
Thursday after being taken to the hospital's Intensive Care Unit
two days earlier, a hospital member of staff said.

"She is still in the ICU. We didn't state that she had died,"
the employee, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Jakarta
Post.

Antara news agency reported on Wednesday night that Gusmiati
had been declared dead after her heart stopped beating at 5:30
p.m. According to the agency, the 60-year-old woman was in a coma
after her heart was started again 20 minutes later.

Gusmiati reportedly suffered from kidney complications, heart
problems and chronic diabetes.

The hospital employee did not discuss her health problems.

"It's confidential. It would be unethical to do so," he said.

Gusmiati, the founder of Gumarang Sakti Dance Company, is the
mother of choreographer Boi G. Sakti, who performed last week at
Art Summit Indonesia 2001, along with his group.
