Indonesian content creator and singer Lula Lahfah was found dead Friday evening in her South Jakarta apartment, local authorities confirmed.
Detectives from the South Jakarta Criminal Investigation Unit were continuing to process the scene and coordinate with the influencer's family as of late Friday.
No official cause of death has been announced. However, Lahfah had publicly battled ongoing health complications that resulted in several hospital stays.
Despite her medical struggles, Lahfah maintained an active presence on social media until just days before her death. Her final post appeared on Jan. 21, with dozens of comments now flooding the comments section from friends and followers grieving the young influencer's demise.
Lahfah initially gained recognition by posting song covers on SoundCloud before transitioning to original music. In 2016, she released "Panjat Sosial" ("Social Climbing"), a collaboration with fellow influencer Gaga Muhammad.

Lahfah's death comes just over a week after another social media personality died from a degenerative illness. Ohio mother Sara Bennett, a 39-year-old former teacher who documented her battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis on social media, died Jan. 13. Bennett had announced her own death through a posthumous Instagram statement in which she reflected on her final months and expressed gratitude for the time she had to complete her personal goals.Bennett's husband, Rusty Bennett, told People magazine that the family experienced unexpected "bonus time" with Sara, who survived beyond initial medical predictions.
The couple and their two sons celebrated New Year's Eve together just days before her death. Bennett had been diagnosed with ALS in March 2023 and used her platform to raise awareness about the progressive nervous system disorder, which affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
