JAKARTA - The Banten SAR Office evacuated the body of an unidentified man from Pulau Panjang beach to Greyeng Harbor. The cause of death is not yet known, whether the victim was a marine accident or not.
"We received the report on the discovery of the unidentified body from Polairud," said Head of the Banten SAR Office Adil Triyanto when contacted in Lebak, Wednesday, December 8, quoted from Antara.
The Banten SAR Office team at around 12.20 WIB evacuated the body, after receiving a report from the Serang Police for the discovery of a male body.
The body of the man without an identity was probably dragged by the waves to the coast of Pulau Panjang.
However, his party could not confirm that they were victims of a marine accident.
Therefore, his party at 13:45 WIB took the body to Greyeng Harbor to be handed over to the authorities.
"We handed the body over to the police to investigate and hopefully the body will be retrieved by members of his family," he said.
He said that during the past week the water conditions in the Sunda Strait in the northern and southern parts of Banten were not friendly, in the form of high waves accompanied by strong winds.
In fact, a Pandeglang fisherman was reported dead and another is in search.
Likewise, two fishermen from Lebak Regency were tossed about for 12 hours in the Indian Ocean after the ship they were traveling on sank when hit by high waves accompanied by strong winds. However, they were lucky to be rescued by other fishermen.
"We ask shipping actors and fishermen to be aware of the bad weather that hit the waters of the Sunda Banten Strait to avoid marine accidents," said Adil.
