A dead passenger traveled unnoticed for at least half a day on a commuter train, the Warta Kota newspaper of Indonesia reported Friday. Anxious family members found the body of Edy Haryanto, 55, sitting in a locked lavatory on Thursday afternoon, more than a day after he had boarded with a group of friends in the central Javanese town of Tegal.
His family became worried when Haryanto didn't get out at the station in Jakarta at the end of the 6-hour journey and his cell phone went unanswered. The body traveled repeatedly back and forth between Tegal and Jakarta before a janitor reported that he was unable to clean one lavatory because the door was locked.
The cause of the death was not immediately clear, but Haryanto had recently suffered a stroke. Dina Nurhandayani, the man's 29-year-old daughter, said she planned to file a complaint of negligence with the state-owned train company PT Kereta Api Indonesia.
