The body of an elderly Australian national has been found in a Kalibata City Apartment unit on Tuesday evening.

Pancoran Police criminal investigation head Adj. Comr. Sigit said that the body of the man, identified as 81-year-old Roy Cull, was discovered by Ardhi, a friend of the deceased who had stopped by the apartment to visit him.

“He found [Cull] lying behind the door and directly reported the discovery to the apartment security before calling the Pancoran Police,” Sigit said on Thursday as quoted by tribunnews.com.

Sigit added that Cull’s ex-wife, Yuliati Peers, said that Cull had a history of illness, but he did not elaborate further.

The body was taken to Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital in Central Jakarta for an autopsy. (iwa)
