Obese patient Muhammad Fajri (27) has died after undergoing intensive care at the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM) in Central Jakarta. Fajri breathed his last on Thursday, (22/6/2023) early morning at 01.25 WIB.

Fajri was buried at the Menteng Pulo Public Cemetery (TPU), South Jakarta on Thursday, (22/6/2023) at 14.00 WIB. Meanwhile, Muhammad Fajri's funeral procession was assisted by the Central Jakarta Rescue team, which consisted of the Fire Department and Basarnas Team.

With the help of equipment such as rescue pulleys and forklifts, the rescue team experienced difficulties when they were about to move Fajri's body to the grave measuring 2.5 m x 1.8 m because Fajri's weight was too big.

It was previously known that Fajri, an obese man weighing nearly 300 kilograms, lay at home for 8 months without doing any activity after having an accident which resulted in an injury to his right leg.

Fajri also underwent treatment at the Tangerang City Regional General Hospital (RSUD) for 2 days, but the Tangerang City Hospital did not have adequate medical equipment facilities. Therefore, on Friday, 9 June 2023, Fajri was referred to Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM) for intensive care.
