Metro Jakarta Selatan Police conclude no criminal elements in influencer Lula Lahfah's death found in her apartment on January 23, 2026. The investigation is halted as the family refused autopsy and no signs of violence were found. An empty pink whip tank containing N2O gas was discovered at the scene, with its origin under probe.
Influencer Lula Lahfah, aged 26, was found dead in her apartment unit on Jalan Dharmawangsa, Cipete Utara, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, on Friday, January 23, 2026, at 18:44 WIB. Home care doctor Rizki Nirwandhi Putra arrived about 20 minutes later and confirmed her death at 19:20 WIB after checking vital signs like pulse and breathing, finding no signs of life. Fatmawati Hospital stated the cause as asphyxiation, though without autopsy due to family refusal.
Metro Jakarta Selatan Police, led by Reskrim Chief AKBP Iskandarsyah, examined 15 witnesses and analyzed CCTV footage. Lula appeared normal the previous day, leaving the apartment with friend VA to visit a cafe in Gunawarman area, then returning and receiving treatment at a South Jakarta hospital. Her partner, Reza Arap, was present during the body evacuation to Fatmawati Hospital. The housekeeper, initial A, only learned of the pink whip tank in the assistant's room during the investigation.
Evidence included an empty 2.050-gram pink whip tank containing nitrous oxide (N2O), blood stains on the sheet identified as menstrual blood (matching her father's DNA), and a pink box with 44 medicine tablets and outpatient records from RSPI. "After we delved deeper and Puslabfor results, the tank was empty," said AKBP Iskandarsyah at the January 31, 2026 press conference. No purchase evidence for the tank, but police are probing its origin with Bareskrim Polri's Narcotics Directorate.
Health Ministry's Director El Iqbal emphasized N2O is for medical use like anesthesia per Permenkes No. 4/2016, warning misuse can cause hypoxia to death. Narcotics Subdit Chief Kombes Zulkarnain noted the gas is often abused in entertainment venues for euphoria, despite high risks. Polda Metro Jaya's Humas Chief Kombes Budi Hermanto urged the public to respect the family and avoid speculation. The investigation was halted due to no unlawful acts.
