MATARAM - The identity of the body of a man who was tossed about in the sea in the Senggigi waters, West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, was revealed as a fisherman from Sanur, Bali, with the initials IWS (53).
Head of the Batulayar Police, AKP I Putu Krisna Varananda, explained that the identity of the IWS was revealed from information from his family who came to provide clarification.
"We received information that there were Balinese residents who lost family members with the characteristics of clothes and accessories that were identical to the bodies we found," he said as reported by ANTARA, Monday, March 9.
The family then immediately traveled from Bali to Lombok to confirm that the body was IWS who was reported missing on Friday (6/3).
"The victim was reported missing while going fishing using a boat in the waters of Sanur, Bali," he said.
In the report's description, the victim allegedly had a maritime accident and was carried away by the current until crossing the strait and being stranded in the waters of Senggigi, West Lombok Regency.
The family also recognized the victim from the necklace, bracelet, and the last clothes he wore. From the results of police communication with the victim's family at the Bhayangkara Mataram Hospital, where the temporary body of IWS was buried, they had forgiven the victim's departure and saw this as a disaster and refused an autopsy.
"The plan is that the IWS's body will be sent back to Bali tonight using the family's private speed boat," he said.
Previously, fishermen in Senggigi waters on Sunday (8/3) were shocked by the discovery of the body of a man floating in the middle of the sea. The discovery was known by the team which was on patrol from the Directorate of Water and Air Police of the NTB Police.
The evacuation of the IWS's body from the middle of the sea was carried out with the support of the Basarnas Unit Bangsal team, North Lombok Regency. After being evacuated to land, the IWS's body was taken to Bhayangkara Mataram Hospital.
