Jember branch of Indonesian Migrant Workers` Union chairman Ahmad Mufti said here on Friday that Supardi fell to his death on Tuesday afternoon from the second floor of a building where he worked.
"Supardi fell to his death from the second floor of a building in Malaysia at 4 on Tuesday afternoon Malaysian time, January 11, 2011," Ahmad Mufti said.
He said the remains of Supardi was scheduled to arrive at Juanda airport in Surabaya on Saturday morning, January 15, and then to be driven on an ambulance to Jember.
According to Ahmat, Supardi`s remain would arrive in Jember at 1 on Saturday afternoon for burial at his home village of Andongsari in Ambulu district.
"Supardi left for Malaysia to work in April 2010," Ahmad said, adding that he found it difficult to assist the process of death insurance which the victim should receive because Supardi`s document and passport were confiscated by his contractor.
"It is difficult for the victim`s family to have death insurance because there was no document or passport which indicated that Supardi was a migrant worker in Malaysia. However, the company where he worked will bear the costs of the repatriation of Supardi`s remains to Jember," he said.
