“May the family always be given strength and patience to accept God’s will,” he added.

Try Sutrisno passed away at RSPAD Gatot Subroto on Monday morning. His family stated that he had no specific medical conditions, but his health had deteriorated due to his advanced age of 90 years.

“It is due to his age; everything declines at that age. There was no specific serious illness, but rather a general decline in his physical capacity, such as his respiratory function,” said Try’s son Taufik Dwi Cahyono at RSPAD Gatot Soebroto on Monday, as cited from Kompas TV.

Taufik said that before his death, Try had been receiving treatment at RSPAD since 16 February 2026 after he suddenly lost his appetite.

“He was admitted on 16 February. So it started with a sudden loss of appetite, he was brought here, and his condition fluctuated, he was given medication and food,” Taufik said.

Taufik stated that the RSPAD and presidential medical teams had provided the best possible treatment to Try until his death on Monday morning.
