In addition, the ante-mortem data collected includes medical information, physical characteristics, and personal belongings of the victims. This data will then be matched with post-mortem examination results of the evacuated bodies. As of now, 10 body bags have been brought to Polri Hospital Kramat Jati.

The victims’ identities are not yet known and will be confirmed through data reconciliation,” Nyoman explained. Meanwhile, injured victims were not referred to Polri Hospital Kramat Jati but were directly taken to several hospitals in the Bekasi area for medical treatment. “For the injured victims, they are all being handled at hospitals around Bekasi,” Nyoman said. To date, no bodies have been claimed by families because they are all still awaiting the completion of the identification process. The police assure that this process will be carried out professionally and in accordance with applicable procedures.
