Police have halted further investigation into the death of selebgram Lula Lahfah after her family refused a visum and autopsy to protect privacy. No signs of violence were found on the body, and the cause of death was listed as cardiac and respiratory arrest. The case went viral on social media with unfounded overdose rumors.
Selebgram Lula Lahfah was found dead in her unit at Apartemen Essence Dharmawangsa, South Jakarta, on Friday, January 23, 2026. The body was discovered by security personnel after she was found unconscious in her room all day. According to the death certificate from Mardhiyah Medical Clinic, Lula passed away around 7:20 PM WIB due to cardiac and respiratory arrest.
The tragic news first went viral through a post by her friend Dery Syahputra, who shared a photo of Lula with a crying emoticon. Her name trended on X (formerly Twitter), along with search terms like “Lula Lahfah overdose” and “stiff photo Lula Lahfah,” though these speculations lack solid evidence.
Police from the South Jakarta Metro Police Criminal Investigation Unit conducted an initial examination, including processing the crime scene (TKP) and interviewing witnesses. Ajun Komisaris Besar Polisi Iskandarsyah stated, “No, visually there isn't any” sign of violence. The security guard's account also showed nothing suspicious.
The victim's family, through her parents, refused a visum and autopsy via an official statement to protect privacy. As a result, the investigation was halted due to no indications of criminal activity. Police remain open to new facts, as Iskandarsyah noted: “Unless something suspicious arises, we'll continue.”
Lula's old tweets complaining about GERD and her fear of death resurfaced, adding to public attention on her sudden passing.
