Death
On October 8, 2009, Lahmar died from a heart attack in a hospital room in the Frantz Fanon Hospital in Béjaïa, Algeria, after suffering from pneumonia.
He was honored by his club JSM Béjaïa in its next game following his death, a league match against CA Bordj Bou Arreridj. Players from both teams entered the pitch with black t-shirts with his face on them. Club officials then held an official ceremony presenting his father and two brothers an official framed jersey before holding a minute of silence in his honor prior to kick off. The fans in the stadium also prepared a giant two-piece black tifo with the messages “Lahmar 24” and “Repose en paix” (Rest in Peace).
