JAKARTA - The death of Dorce Gamalama made the public feel sorry for him. SOE Minister Erick Thohir also mourned the loss of senior artist Dorce Gamalama today at Pertamina Central Hospital, Simprug, Jakarta.

Erick said that Indonesia had lost the figure of "Mother" who was loved by the people.

"Innalillahi wa Inna Ilaihi Raji'un. Indonesia has lost a very dear mother figure. Mother Dorce Gamalama died at the age of 58 years," Erick said through his personal Instagram page quoted on Wednesday, February 16.

Before Dorce suffered from COVID-19, Erick had visited him at the hospital. He did not expect that it would be his last meeting with the singer.

"Some time ago, I had the chance to visit him at the RSPP and share jokes, not expecting that he would be left in such a short time," said Erick.

"My deepest condolences for the passing of Mother Dorce Gamalama. May her deeds of worship be accepted by Him. Amen," he continued.

Dorce Gamalama died at 07.30 WIB due to COVID-19. Previously, he had been treated at the RSPP for 3 weeks.

The owner's real name, Dedi Yuliardi Ashadi, previously had a long history of illness, and he was even unconscious in the ICU. He has kidney stones and blood sugar.

Until this news was revealed, the family had not been able to determine because they were waiting for the hospital's decision.

"If it's negative, we want to take it to the Al Hayu Lubang Buaya mosque, but if it's positive, we'll follow the hospital's decision, we don't know where it is," said Dorce's sister, Elita.

The family who are in the hospital at this time are still unable to provide complete information about Dorce Gamalama's funeral plans because they are still devastated and waiting for the results from the Simprug Hospital.
