Son of Dorce Gamalama (Alit Bagus/VOI)

JAKARTA - Before he died, it was known that Dorce Gamalama had been treated at the Pertamina Central Hospital (RSPP) Simprug, South Jakarta, starting February 8. Since then, the family has had a hard time seeing Dorce because the hospital forbade the patient to meet with many people.

This was revealed by Anna as Dorce's adopted son and older sister, Mother Elita. The two even explained that Dorce had been in a coma three times because his condition was worsened by exposure to COVID-19.

"I can't because the hospital rules can't visit, that's only one person. Diabetes is a complication of diabetes, I've been to the hospital 3 times, but the last time I was in the ICU was in a coma. It's been 3 times (coma)," said Anna when met by VOI Bantar Jati TPU, East Jakarta, 16 February.

"Never met since the beginning of hospital admission," he added.

This was revealed by Anna as Dorce's adopted son and older sister, Mother Elita.

Anna also explained that Dorce had been sincere that he would be called by Allah SWT since the beginning of being admitted to the hospital because of diabetes. The owner's real name, Dedy Yuliardi Ashadi, seemed to give a message to his family that he would pass away in the near future.

"When you felt sick, Mother said that God wanted to go home, God willing, Mother was sincere since Mother was sick since suffering from diabetes," recalled Anna.

Dorce Gamalama passed away on Wednesday, February 16 at 07.36 WIB at Pertamina Central Hospital (RSPP) Simprug, South Jakarta. He was then buried according to the COVID-19 protocol at the Bantar Jati TPU, East Jakarta.
