“The victim’s body has been officially recorded in the state administration through the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur; no autopsy was performed,” he said on Wednesday (22/4/2026).
Furqan explained that the victim’s identity is complete and matches the official documents (passport and death certificate). All supporting documents for repatriating the body have been processed in accordance with applicable regulations.
“The victim’s body has arrived via Kuala Lumpur Airport to Lombok Airport. The body has been received by the family,” he said.
Based on official documents from the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, as well as cross-agency coordination regarding the narrative and legal administrative considerations (legal bureau), the repatriation of the body has fulfilled aspects of legality, identity, immigration procedures, and health.
