SURABAYA - A woman with the initials SM, a resident of Dupak Bangunsari, Surabaya, East Java, was found dead. The 22-year-old woman drowned in the swimming pool at the Grand Surabaya Hotel.

"It is suspected that this victim could not swim, and in the end, the victim drowned", said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Genteng Police, Iptu Sutrisno, confirmed on Wednesday, October 13.

Based on data from the Tile Police, SM was not actually a guest at the hotel. She only met her village friend, Fitria (25) who was staying at the hotel.

SM, who came to the hotel in the morning, immediately played with Fitria in the hotel swimming pool which had just opened at 06.00 WIB. Until finally SM drowned while trying to swim.

Seeing her friend drowning, Fitria immediately reported to the hotel. The hotel security immediately forwarded the report to the Tile Police Sector.

"We received a security report and went to the location with the Surabaya Police Inafis team", said Sutrisno.

After being examined by the Inafis team (Automatic Finger Print Identification System), the result was that there were no signs of violence on the victim's body. There is a strong suspicion that the victim drowned because he could not swim and was out of breath while at the bottom of the water.

"The victim is currently in dr. Soetomo Hospital and has been brought by her family", he said.
