It was estimated that he had died on the way to the hospital, around the Banyuresmi sub-district, so he was finally taken to the nearest health center and declared dead.

According to Slamet, Agus was exhausted after traveling from Jakarta to attend political party activities.

In addition, the deceased had a history of illness.

"Maybe because of fatigue, but indeed, when he was in Garut before 9 p.m., he still looked healthy," Slamet said.

Agus began his political career by becoming a member of the Garut DPRD. Then, Agus was elected as deputy regent of Garut to replace Dicky Chandra who resigned.

He was subsequently appointed as regent of Garut to replace Aceng Fikri.

Agus Hamdani then ran for the regional head election in 2014 and 2018, but ultimately lost to the pair Rudy Gunawan and Helmi Budiman, who currently lead Garut.

Agus's body will be buried in his family's cemetery in Cicalengka district, Bandung regency. (antara/mcr20/jpnn)
