JAKARTA: Former Indonesian dictator Suharto’s condition was
deteriorating after the 86-year-old was hospitalized in Jakarta,
doctors said Saturday. Suharto was suffering complications
after his heart became too weak to pump blood properly around his
body, causing large amounts of swelling, hospital director Djoko
Rahardjo said. Doctors have managed to reduce the swelling in
Suharto’s “limbs, but not his stomach,” Rahardjo told
reporters as Suharto’s family and officials visited the ailing
former president.
