Two men overdose in public toilet

JAKARTA: Two men allegedly died of drug overdoses in the public toilets of a department store on Tuesday, in separate incidents.

At about 1 p.m., the janitor of the Ramayana department store in Jatinegara, East Jakarta, Ade Supriyadi, found a man unconscious in one of the cubicles. He was identified as DH, 26, a resident of Bojong Gede, Bogor.

After calling the police, DH was taken to the Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital in Central Jakarta. He died three hours later.

At about 6:30 p.m., Ade became suspicious when a man did not exit from the toilet after 30 minutes.

The police came again and said that the man, identified as AH, 21, resident of Tanah Sereal, Bogor, was already dead. His body was taken to the Cipto Hospital for autopsy.

"We suspected both had taken a drug overdose, because we found syringes still in their arms," Jatinegara Police chief Comr. Puspito said. -- Antara
