REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANDUNG -- Legendary Indonesian sniper Tatang Koswara died at the age of 68 on Tuesday night (March 3) while being interviewed as a guest star in a television talk show in Jakarta.
The body of the deceased has been taken to his home in Bandung, on Wednesday (4/3).
Koswara's third child, Tubagus Abdiyuda noted during the funeral at his home on Wednesday that his father had suffered from heart disease for the past 14 years before his death.
"I am proud of my father. Although he had a heart problem, he had an iron spirit, perhaps because of his strong body. He was a military man," Abdiyuda stated.
However, Abdiyuda was in agony when he witnessed his father struggling with heart disease.
"He was drenched in cold sweat, but he kept fighting. One day he told me that it was like being in a void when the disease relapsed. He could not breathe. With strong willpower, he was able to (breathe again)," Abdiyuda said.
Tatang Koswara died on Tuesday night (March 3) during the shooting of a talk show Hitam Putih at a television station studio in Jakarta.
The body of the late sniper was taken to the funeral home on Sayuran Road, Lumba Lumba Kav. No.2 RT/01 RW08, Dayeuhkolot Sub-district, Bandung, East Java Province, on Wednesday morning.
Tatang Koswara will be honored in a military funeral and buried in a local cemetery near his house.
