MATARAM - Residents of the Gading Beach coast, Mataram City, West Nusa Tenggara, found a body of a male of unknown identity on Thursday morning.
Ampenan Police Chief Kompol Ahmad Majmuk said, based on the initial observation at the location, the condition of the victim's body could not be clearly recognized because it was swollen.

Following up on the findings, the police, together with TNI personnel and the SAR team, evacuated the body from the location of the discovery and carried out a series of initial identification processes.

"It is estimated that the body found is the intended resident," he said.
Furthermore, the body was evacuated to Bhayangkara Mataram Hospital for a visa and waiting for the arrival of the family for further identification.
