This just in from the Jakarta Foreign Correspondents Club:

The JFCC would like to extend its condolences to the family of Bill Guerin, who passed away this weekend in Jakarta. Bill was a long-time resident of Jakarta and prolific writer for Asia Sentinel and other media on important political and business issues affecting Indonesia. We were very sad to hear the news and will keep you posted on any further news of funeral arrangements if and when we receive them. Visitors are welcome at RS Cikini until 1.30 PM.
