Singaporean found dead

JAKARTA (JP): A Singaporean man was found with his head crushed in the parking lot of the Radisson hotel on Jl. Pacenongan, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday afternoon.

People have speculated that the foreigner, identified as Yo Aek Leong Leonard, 35, had killed himself by jumping from the ninth floor of the hotel.

Police said yesterday that they had yet to determine whether the victim had committed suicide or was murdered.

Local police officers and hotel staff said that the victim had stayed in the same hotel room since Jan. 10 with his wife, Lin Fadlin, who has one paralyzed hand.

City police spokesman Lt. Iman Haryatna said that police detectives and forensic scientists are still examining the corpse to discover the cause of the accident.

"His wife has also been questioned," Iman said. (bsr)
