On December 28, it is supposed to be the closest family and friends Indra Bekti celebrating its 45th birthday. There were a series of joyous birthday surprises received by the famous Indonesian presenter but unfortunately a different story happened the next morning.
The excitement of Indra Bekti’s birthday event was stopped because at around 8 a.m. during a morning broadcast on the radio, he was said to have fainted in the bathroom. The chronology of events was later clarified by his friend and co-worker, Indy Barends.
Indy Barends along with Indra Bekti’s younger brother, Cipta, told him that his best friend didn’t fall in the bathroom. But his condition was passed out like sleeping.
While crying, Indy Barends told the media crew in front of Abdi Waluyo Hospital, Central Jakarta.
“So this morning Bekti broadcast the radio at around 8 past 8. I and Cipta are Bekti’s sister, so during the broadcast Bekti complained of a headache. So it didn’t fall in the bathroom,” said Indy Barends while sobbing.
Indy Barends continued, in the morning Indra Bekti complained of a headache, he said he wanted to go to the bathroom and defecate (BAB). The broadcast team realized that the old Bekti did not return to the broadcast room, so local security checked into the bathroom.
Inside the locked toilet, Indra Bekti was there. He was already sitting on the toilet and looked asleep, was poked but didn’t wake up either.
“It turned out that Bekti was still pooping in a pooping position but had fallen asleep but seemed to have fainted so it didn’t fall in the bathroom. So in such a situation everyone had to take immediate action to be rushed to Abdi Waluyo Hospital, into the emergency room,” he added.
Meanwhile, according to Indra Bekti’s manager, Roy, Indra Bekti’s condition the day before looked fine.
“Since yesterday he has a normal job. It’s fine broadcasting, there’s video clip shooting until the evening is still safe. Today’s birthday at 12 already with family, don’t know whether to sleep or continue,” explained Roy
“In the morning an assistant accompanying the radio broadcast was also given a surprise. Maybe around 7.30 he was going to the toilet. When he went back to the toilet, he was already on the water once more, how come (Bekti) didn’t come back and forth,” he continued.
The team at the broadcast location checked Indra Bekti in the toilet. Having been called and shouted at, Indra Bekti did not make a sound. It turned out that Indra Bekti was already unconscious.
“Screaming in the bathroom didn’t come out. Bekti’s condition was passed out. He was immediately taken by ambulance to a hospital in an area near here,” explained Roy.
Currently, it is reported that Indra Bekti has a broken blood vessel in the head. He also had to undergo blood clot surgery because too much blood was clotting. Reportedly, Bekti also experienced swelling in the brain.
