Is the plant dieing from the bottom up or all over it and is it affecting the fruits as well?

Also how long has the plant been infected?

If you can please take a close up pic of both sides of a leaf and the fruit. It will help people to better ID what the issue is.

I am sure with that much rain and humidity it is probably a fungus based issue.

The bleach solution might work though it looks pretty advanced.

you can also in the future use tepung soda pengembang kue or as we call it baking soda before the plants get this bad this is considered organic but needs to be used before it spreads to control it

Baking soda spray is reputed to be effective to treat late blight, early blight and other fungus problems. Mix 1 tbsp. baking soda and 2 1/2 tbsp. vegetable oil in one gallon of water. After mixing, add one half tsp. of dish soap. Spray the tomato plant once a week, coating the leaves and stems. Spray after the hottest sun of the day is over.
