A Fond Farewell to Elsa Laksono
Prior to being brought to the funeral home, the body of Elsa Laksono (59), one of the two climbers who tragically passed away on the Carstensz Peak in Central Papua, was transported from Soekarno-Hatta Airport. A convoy of vehicles carrying the body arrived at the Carolus Funeral Home at approximately 6:59 PM. Heartfelt condolence messages adorned floral arrangements, expressing grief over the departure of the female climber, who was also a dentist by profession.
The untimely passing of Elsa Laksono, along with Lilie Wijayati, two seasoned climbers, marked the completion of their Seven Summit mission on the summit of Mount Carstensz Pyramid in the Mimika Regency of Central Papua. Both individuals are suspected to have succumbed to Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), a condition commonly associated with high-altitude environments. As a tribute, one of the floral arrangements bore the sentiment, “Farewell, beloved Elsa.”
