TANGERANG - Soekarno-Hatta Port Health Office (KKP) (Soetta) said one Hajj person from Jeruk Gardens, West Jakarta, who was a member of Group 04 of CKG Debarkation died on the plane on his way back to Indonesia.

"On the plane there was a doctor, after transiting to Medan, he had received treatment. But indeed at the time of arrival, the Hajj pilgrims were in very good condition," said Head of KKP Soetta Naning Nugrahini in Tangerang, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, July 4.

He explained that the 67-year-old Hajj pilgrim, Siti bint Tengke, died of exhaustion after traveling far from the Holy Land to Indonesia.

"When information was received, the arrival of the Hajj entourage previously transited to Medan and it was said that an ambulance was needed," he said.

He revealed that the Hajj Organizing Committee (PPIH) together with the KKP had previously carried out various health treatments for the congregation.

Before the Hajj body was handed over by the family, said Naning, his party first carried out a re-examination at the Class I KKP Soekarno-Hatta Airport. This is to find out the exact cause of the death of the deceased.

"And the current handling is that we have taken it to the main office, then after arriving at the office we will conduct an examination to find out what the results are or what. After that we will handle it together with PPIH," he said.
