Ray Sahetapy Passes Away, Long Struggle Until He Almost Died Previously

Ray's treatment journey has not been easy. He experienced various health complications, including lung issues due to choking. Several times, Ray had to undergo intensive care in the hospital for his recovery.

"He had a stroke in June-July 2023. So during that time, we tried to care for him so he could return to normal, but there were also times during the healing process when he choked again. He almost died once," he said.

Ray's condition worsened when he experienced respiratory issues again and had to undergo treatment in the ICU. Charly revealed that although he showed signs of improvement at times, his health continued to decline.

"He had two episodes of shortness of breath, also here at RSPAD, went back into the ICU, being monitored. But then they had to suction more than 2 liters of fluid from his lungs. He started to return to normal, but his hemoglobin kept dropping, and his blood pressure was also severe. When God calls, what can we do?" he said.

In an increasingly deteriorating condition, Ray is said to have accepted his fate. According to Charly, his will to live has gradually decreased, especially after various treatment efforts did not yield maximum results.

"He seems to be ready to accept it. His will to live has somewhat diminished. It was evident when he was in decline," said Charly.

Now, family and relatives are mourning Rey's passing. His body is planned to be buried on Friday (4/5/2025) at Tanah Kusir Cemetery, after waiting for the arrival of his son, Surya, from the United States. 

Ray's departure leaves a deep sorrow for his family, friends, and fans. May the good deeds of the deceased be accepted by God Almighty.
