The famous mastermind from Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java Warseno 'Slenk' died at 59 years old, Thursday at 04.30 WIB.

The late Jatmiko's nephew said Warseno died after undergoing treatment for three days at the hospital due to heart disease.

"Mr. Slenk has been treated at PKU for three days, this body has been brought home," he said in Solo, Central Java, Antara, Thursday, December 12.

Furthermore, the body will be buried in Astana Depokan, Juwiring, Klaten, Central Java, Thursday afternoon.

Meanwhile, Warseno, who is also the younger brother behind Anom Suroto, left behind a wife and two children. One of his children named Amar Pradopo also followed in the footsteps of his father in the art of pedalangan.

Previously, on November 23, Ki Warseno Slenk was involved in the Socialization of the 4 Pillars and the national prayer carried out by the Deputy Chairperson of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) of the Republic of Indonesia (RI) Lestari Moerdijat at Sasono Sumiwo Keraton Surakarta Hadiningrat Surkarta, Central Java.

The puppeteer Ki Warseno Slenk at the wayang show played Wahyu Cakraningrat which contained philosophical values about leadership, justice, and wisdom.

At that time, Ki Warseno also had a message from the younger generation, especially in Surakarta, not to forget Javanese culture, one of which was wayang kulit.

He also appreciated the socialization of the four pillars following the lack of various groups who care about culture and to preserve culture in the country.

"Luhuring drajad is an iku Seko budayane nation, so if the culture has been upheld, then God willing, our dignity will be upheld," he said.
