JAKARTA - The medical team said that guitarist Seringai, Ricky Siahaan died of a heart attack shortly after appearing at a show in Tokyo, Japan on Saturday, April 19 at 21.30 local time.

The heart attack is not the first time Ricky has experienced this. Wendi Putranto as manager of Seringai said the guitarist had a heart attack eleven years ago.

"So, this is the second heart attack. The first is a long time ago, in 2014," Wendi said when met at the Sentosa Funeral Home, RSPAD, Central Jakarta, Thursday, April 24 evening.

"After the first attack, he had time to use the ring, there were two rings, after that there was nothing else," added the manager.

However, Wendi ensured that Ricky's condition was in good condition when starting the Wolves of East Asia Tour 2025 in Taiwan and Japan. Even five shows went well.

"Indeed, before leaving there was no health problem, the deceased was in good health and really enjoyed this tour," he said. That's why what was surprising yesterday was just five minutes after the gig the situation was still very happy, because maybe my friends had seen the video on social media, that at the last concert there was no sign of him being tired or tired.

Meanwhile, the history of heart disease also makes medical procedures in Japan not too long, and bodies can be returned to the country more quickly.

"So, when yesterday collapsed in Japan, there should have been an autopsy procedure, but when the wife came there, met with the police and the hospital, explained the history of the deceased's illness, from the Japanese side and the hospital, "Okay, there is no need for an autopsy", that's why Ricky's return could be one day faster," concluded Wendi.

For information, Ricky's body will still be buried at the Sentosa Funeral Home RSPAD to undergo several worship services and traditional events. The guitarist who died at the age of 48 will be buried at the San Diego Hills Memorial Park, West Karawang on Saturday, April 26 afternoon.
