Anga's body was greeted with sobs from the family who had been waiting for him. Almahrum's residence in Sungai Sapih Village, Kuranji District, Padang City, West Sumatra, is also full of mourners.

Before being buried in the family grave, the body of the deceased is prayed at the mosque which is near the funeral home. Relatives asked the family to be generous and sincere in facing this tragedy and was buried in Padang, West Sumatra.

Uncle Angga, Syahrion (43) said that the body was originally dispatched using a Sriwijaya Air plane. However, because there was no flight schedule, Angga was sent home by Lion Air.

"Angga's body has been dispatched at 09.00 WIB from Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport in Jakarta to Minangkabau International Airport (BIM) West Sumatra today," he explained as quoted by Antara, Saturday, January 23.

Angga arrived at BIM at around 10.55 WIB by going through a number of procedures at the airport before being taken back to the funeral home by ambulance.

Angga's body could be discharged after being identified and the results reported to his family on Thursday, January 21, 2021. This confirmation was based on the results of DNA tests on his newborn son.

The late Angga died at the age of 28 and left behind his wife and a child who was just born on January 2, 2021.

When his son was seven days old, Angga got a call from his boss to return to work in Pontianak. Angga works for a company engaged in the shipping sector in Kalimantan. Unfortunately for him, when he left to return to duty, the plane he was traveling on crashed into the waters of the Thousand Islands on January 9, 2021.

The plane carried 62 people consisting of 12 cabin crew, 40 adult passengers, 7 child passengers and 3 infants.
