In late July 2026, Sutrimo, the 42-year-old caretaker for the Mordent Clinic building in South Jakarta, was found unconscious with foam emerging from his mouth and nose. He was declared dead on arrival at RS Muhammadiyah Taman Puring.

While initial forensic results indicated no evidence of poison, the investigation has transitioned into a formal criminal inquiry following concerns raised by civil-society groups regarding the suspicious nature of his death. As of mid-August 2026, investigators from Polda Metro Jaya, in collaboration with Polda Jawa Tengah and Polresta Banyumas, have commenced an exhumation of Sutrimo’s grave in Banyumas, Central Java.

A team of forensic experts from the Indonesian Association of Forensic and Medicolegal Doctors (PDFMI) is conducting external identity confirmations and internal examinations of organs. Samples for toxicology, DNA, and histopathology testing will be analyzed by laboratories at the University of Indonesia and Airlangga University to determine if the death was natural or unnatural.

On August 13, 2026, forensic lead Ahmad Yudianto reported that initial visual inspections of both the external and internal body showed “no signs of trauma from blunt or sharp objects.” Although no visible injuries were found, the exact cause of death remains undetermined. Forensic teams have collected dozens of samples, including skin, tissue from the head, swabs, and organs such as the heart and stomach, to identify potential poisons or biological factors.

Legal counsel for former Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes Febrie Adriansyah has urged the public to refrain from linking Sutrimo’s death to Adriansyah’s ongoing legal cases involving alleged corruption and money laundering. Representatives clarified that Sutrimo was not a household manager, but was employed to watch an empty building.
