Because there are things and other things that must be referred to the Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital," he said to VOI who contacted him on Wednesday, June 8 evening.

According to the wife of the late Sophan Sophiaan, Rima underwent dialysis at the RSPAD. And just put on a ventilator in his body. "He has just been put on a ventilator to help breathe," said Widyawati.

When asked how his condition was, according to the film stars Romi and Juli, Rima was indeed in a poor condition, so she asked all parties to give the best prayers for her best friend. "We wish the best for Rima Melati. I can confirm that he is not dead yet," he said.

According to Widya, there was news about Rima Melati's death from the BCD ENTERTAINMEN YouTube channel. Since then, Widwawati admits that she has been overwhelmed by calls from various parties asking for the truth of the news.

"Wow, people now have the heart to make Youtube material as if Rima Melati has died, even though she didn't. Which quoted my statement anyway. Please don't overdo it. Please maintain the accuracy and truth of the news. Try if this situation happened to your family, do you want to be reported like that when in reality it's not like that, "he said.
