DENPASAR - The forensic team of Prof Ngoerah Hospital (formerly Sanglah Hospital) has submitted the autopsy results of the body of a woman named I Gusti Mirah Agung Lestari (42) which was previously found on the side of the road, Jalan Denpasar-Gilimanuk to the Bali Police Forensic Laboratory.

"The standard autopsy time is two to three hours, that was about that, but we still need other tests so we have some samples that we have to check at the Bali Police Labfor," said Head of the Forensic Installation of RSUP Prof. Ngoerah Dr. Kunthi Yulianti in Denpasar quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, August 24.

The doctor said that the body of the woman from Buduk Village, Mengwi, Badung was autopsied since 09.00 WITA this morning, after an external examination had previously been carried out.

"We received the body last night, Tuesday (23/8) at 20.28 WITA, which was then carried out for external examination and followed by an autopsy. The condition of the body itself was starting to decompose, we can't be sure because the Labfor examination determined it was a wound before death or after death," said Dr. Kunthi.

The results of his team's autopsy today have been submitted to the Bali Police Labfor to investigate the cause of death, and then analyzed between the laboratory results and the autopsy findings.

"Laboratory examinations take an average of three to four weeks at the Regional Police. The results take a long time because a laboratory is needed, later the Labfor will be responsible for the examination. We will enter our analysis of the cause of death, with additional pathological and anatomical tests. For the samples, there are many, from organs and from that we suspect something," he said.

Dr. Kunthi said, generally Indonesians who live in tropical climates if they die, their bodies will experience decay an average of 24 hours after death, naturally their bodies will decompose over time, the same as Gusti Mirah's body.

"Yes, because it has undergone decomposition (Gusti Mirah's body) means that it has been more than 24 hours, but the time of death has not been confirmed, later after the autopsy results will be given by investigators," he said.

After the autopsy was performed, the doctor at Prof Ngoerah Hospital said Gusti Mirah's body was still in the hospital, pending the family's decision to continue the religious procession.

"I told the investigators that if I had taken all the samples, if the investigators had done so, then they could be handed over to the family, so you don't have to wait for the autopsy results to be completed. We talked about it earlier, but the family is still discussing (discussion)," said the Head of the Forensic Installation.

Previously, it was known from Kasatreskrim Polres Jembrana AKP M Reza Pranata, the victim Gusti Mirah was a regional bank employee who was found dead on the side of Jalan Denpasar-Gilimanuk, Sumbersari Hamlet, Melaya Village, Jembrana.

The victim was first found on Tuesday (23/8) by residents named Hikmah (55) and Usman (60) who were passing by, having previously been reported missing since Sunday (21/8) when they were about to return to their home from Jimbaran, Badung.
