Ibing’s son Dikdik Kusmadi said he received a telephone call informing that his father had fallen and was unconscious.
Dikdik said he tried to revive his father in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. “I tried to shake his body but had no response. At the hospital, the doctor said that has passed away” he said.
