"Earlier I had taken the external post-mortem, and indeed based on the external post-mortem it was clear that your father died from drowning," said Andrefina to reporters in Jayapura, Tuesday (1/11/2022).

"At that time it sank or during a dive so that it was stranded at Base-G," continued Andrefina.
 
Andrefina said that his father did say goodbye to diving last Saturday (29/10). Filep Karma also had time to swim with one of his family on Sunday (30/10) morning.

"There is also a witness from the family who also said that they met with you on Sunday morning and swam together but you did not come home," he said.

According to Andrefina, his father did not come home because he was waiting for the sea to recede so he could dive. That's why he was abandoned by his family.

"Because at first I wanted to dive because the water was rising, waiting for the water to recede. Finally, the family went home alone without my father coming," he said.
