The cause of death of Diana Hutahaean, a worker at Lapo Oppu Ratus Pangururan, is still under investigation as police await autopsy results.

Samosir. The cause of death of Diana Hutahaean (24), a freelance worker at Lapo Oppu Ratus, Saitnihuta Village, Pangururan District, Samosir Regency, North Sumatra, is still under investigation by the police. Police are currently awaiting autopsy results to determine the exact cause of the victim’s death.

Diana had received medical treatment and was hospitalized at Hadrianus Sinaga General Hospital in Pangururan before being declared dead on Tuesday (2/6/2026) around 7:00 PM local time.

The victim was known to live with her family in the area around the Tano Ponggol Bridge, Parsaoran I Village, Pangururan District. She leaves behind a husband, Joi Lubis, and two children.

One employee of Lapo Oppu Ratus, Rafika, said the victim had been ill for two days and did not come to work.

“On Tuesday morning around 9:00 AM, Diana came to her workplace after asking her colleagues to pick her up from her boarding house because she wanted to seek medical treatment,” Rafika said on Thursday (4/6/2026).

According to him, because the victim’s condition worsened, her colleagues then contacted a midwife with the initials Br Bukit to provide initial care.

“After being treated by the midwife, Diana had convulsions and was then taken to Hadrianus Sinaga General Hospital for further medical treatment,” he said.

Despite receiving treatment, the victim’s life could not be saved and she was declared dead that evening.

Rafika denied rumors circulating in the community linking the victim’s death to suspected alcohol poisoning.

“It is not true that three people were hospitalized due to alcohol poisoning. That information is a hoax,” he asserted.

He explained that all workers were in good health and had been questioned by the police.

According to Rafika, CCTV footage at the location also showed the victim only consuming mineral water while at work.

“The CCTV footage has been handed over to the police,” he said.

Rafika also revealed that before dying, the victim had complained about her health condition and reported vomiting blood.

To determine the cause of death, Diana’s body was then taken to Bhayangkara Hospital in Medan for an autopsy.

The director of Hadrianus Sinaga General Hospital in Pangururan, Iwan Sihaloho, when contacted, said that none of Diana Hutahaean’s colleagues were undergoing treatment at the hospital.

“None of the victim’s other friends were treated at Hadrianus Sinaga General Hospital in Pangururan,” he stated.

Previously, it was reported that a worker at an entertainment venue in Saitnihuta Village, Pangururan District, Samosir, was a victim of alcohol poisoning.

Body Autopsy
The head of criminal investigation at the Samosir Police, AKP Edward Sidauruk, confirmed that an autopsy had been performed on the victim’s body.

“An autopsy was indeed conducted,” he said.

According to Edward, the police are still awaiting the autopsy results as a basis for determining the exact cause of the victim’s death.

As of now, the police are still gathering statements from various relevant parties and conducting further investigation. The crime scene has also been cordoned off with police tape for investigation purposes.

“The autopsy results will later serve as the basis to confirm the cause of the victim’s death,” Edward said.
