Unidentified body buried in Mataram

MATARAM, West Nusa Tenggara: The body of an unidentified woman found floating last week off West Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, was buried yesterday after the Mataram Public Hospital completed an autopsy.

According to Muchdar, one of the physicians who performed the autopsy, no one has yet been able to identify the woman, thought to be about 18 years' old.

About 15 people came forward to identify the body, however none of them were able to do so, Muchdar said, as quoted by Antara.

The body was scheduled to be buried yesterday at the Karang Median Islamic cemetery in Mataram.(mds)
