Malaysian diver's body repatriated after fatal Aceh trip
JAKARTA: A Malaysian diver has died during a trip off Indonesia's Aceh province, with his body repatriated to Kuala Lumpur, officials confirmed on Sunday. Malaysia's Consul General in Medan, Shahril Nizam Abdul Malek, said that the remains of Haikal Rafie Halim, 33, from Selangor, were flown home on Sunday evening. "The flight departed Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport in Aceh at 4.55pm local time for Kuala Lumpur International Airport," he told Bernama. Haikal was part of a group of three Malaysian divers, accompanied by a local dive guide, when they encountered strong undercurrents near the Canyon dive site off Pulau Weh, near Sabang, on Saturday. "Haikal is believed to have panicked and was instructed to surface. Upon reaching the surface, he was found unconscious and reportedly foaming at the mouth," Sabang police chief Sukoco said.
