2 Chinese Citizens Died At Gorontalo Hospital, One Hanging From The Window And The Other Lying Full Of Blood

GORONTALO - The Gorontalo Regional Police conducted an investigation into the cause of death of two foreign nationals (foreigners) from China at the Tombulilato Hospital, Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo Province.

Head of Public Relations of the Gorontalo Regional Police Grand Commissioner Wahyu Tri Cahyono said the two foreigners were found dead last Saturday night.

The foreigners, with the initials LC (35) and LZ (41), work at the Micro-Hydraulic Power Plant (PLTMH) in Poduwoma village, East Suwawa District, Bone Bolango Regency.

When found, LC was in a position hanging by a rope from one side of the hospital window, while LZ was found lying on the floor covered in blood on the head in the same room.

"After receiving information regarding the deaths of the two foreigners, the Dirreskrimum, Dirintelkam, Head of the Bone Bolango Police and the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Bone Bolango Police together with the Gorontalo Police Inafis team last night immediately went to the Crime Scene to investigate and thoroughly investigate this case," he said in Gorontalo, Antara, Sunday, February 6.

Wahyu said that the provisional assumption was that the foreigner on behalf of LC died by suicide, because based on information from the statements of the witnesses concerned, he had tried to commit suicide three times due to depression.

The first suicide attempt was on January 23, 2022, where he tried to jump from the top of a tower crane while carrying out PLTMH work, then on January 24, when he was about to do an antigen because he was about to be returned to his country, the person concerned fled and when he was about to be arrested, he hit his own head with a rock.

Then on January 25, while being treated at the Tombulilato Hospital, the person concerned hit his head against the wall, so he was handcuffed and guarded by two of his co-workers on behalf of LZ and FB.

Meanwhile, according to Wahyu, based on the results of the statements of witnesses and the results of the provisional crime scene, LZ is the victim of a murder allegedly committed by his colleague LC.
