Kapanlagi.com - Rina Gunawan passed away on Tuesday (2/3). This artist and presenter closed her life at the age of 46.

The atmosphere at her funeral was filled with deep grief for those closest to her, especially her husband, Teddy Syach. Teddy was met at Tanah Kusir Cemetery, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (3/3/2021).

"So it started with a quite busy schedule, so she was exhausted from managing several events. The peak was when she took a break after finishing the last event, I don't know where she was exposed but thankfully she is safe," said Teddy Syach.

1. Positive Corona

Teddy Syach explained that Rina had pre-existing conditions such as sinus and asthma. Furthermore, Teddy does not know for sure whether his wife died in a negative or positive Covid condition because only the medical team can answer that.

"The others have all recovered from the office. Because Rina happened to have pre-existing sinus and asthma which caused difficulty in breathing. So when she was infected with Covid, it was quite severe for her. We were separated for a week. We don't know exactly when it changed from negative to positive. I don't know. Only the medical team can answer that," said Teddy.

2. Work Exhaustion

A few days before her death, Teddy said that Rina's condition remained stable. He added that the late wife had been exhausted from work.

"She remained stable in the past few days because she had to breathe independently and because her fingers were exhausted, she was assisted by breathing equipment and others. (Her complaint) was exhaustion because she was overworking taking care of service people. Because the workload was too high in the past few weeks. Actually, there was work that had to be completed this week," he added.
