police investigation has concluded that a family of four found dead while camping in Temanggung Regency, Central Java, late last month died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Muhamad Ali Munawar, 52, his wife Maghfirah, 43, and their two sons, Bagas Amar Hakiki, 21, and Alvino Evan Hakim, 16 were found unresponsive inside their tent on May 27 after a campground caretaker approached them to remind them of the check-out time. Authorities later confirmed that all four had died.
The deaths sparked nationwide attention and speculation, with many questioning the cause of the tragedy and whether foul play was involved.
Central Java Police Director of Criminal Investigation Sr. Comr. Muhammad Anwar Nasir said investigators had examined a range of possible causes of death, including food poisoning, before concluding that the family died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
“As part of the investigation, we tested all food consumed by the victims, including breakfast that had been prepared but not yet eaten. However, no toxic substances were found in any of the food samples," Nasir told a press conference on Monday.
Nasir added that investigators also examined the victims' mobile phones and found no indication that the family had planned to take their own lives.
"An examination of the victims' phones found no messages or keywords related to suicide, nor any other indications that could suggest self-harm," he said.
