Tourist found dead in hotel room

JAKARTA (JP) : A foreign tourist from Taiwan was found dead in
his room on Wednesday afternoon by a security guard of Wisma
Pasir Putih Hotel in South Jakarta.

The tourist, identified as Wang Shin Seu, 68, stayed in the
hotel with two other friends for a week. One friend told hospital
officials that he and the deceased went out for entertainment the
night before, but he declined to name the place they visited.

He and his other friend were suspicious of Wang's whereabouts
on Wednesday and asked the security officer to open the door of
his room. They found Wang lying on the bed. The cause of death
was not known.

Relatives of the deceased arrived in Jakarta on Thursday and
went straight from the airport to Cipto Mangunkusumo General
Hospital's morgue to take Wang's remains back to Taiwan. (04)
