A 60-year-old old Japanese woman was found dead hanging in the living room of her rented house in Denpasar on Sunday, Denpasar Police says.

Based on initial reports, police suspect Tumoko Teremai committed suicide, Denpasar Police chief Adj.Com. I Gusti Nyoman Wintara said Monday as reported by kompas.com.

Her body was found by I Gusti Putu Gede Arsana, the owner of the house located not far from Jl. WR Supratman, on Sunday afternoon.

“She once said she wanted to die in Bali ,” Arsana said.

He said he sensed something was wrong when he saw a letter from her on the veranda of his house at about 5:30 p.m. on Sunday. As he entered the living room, he saw her body hanging.

Arsana said that after her husband had died, Tumoko, who had retired from her job working on a cruise ship, spent much of her time biking around the neighborhood.
