There is no different in Lou. if you ever played the first Death Stranding then you would know that the Lou is the small baby who gets rescued by Sam, and the protagonist. The second game also sees the return of Lou, but the first few hours of Death Stranding 2, Fragile and the Lou attacked the cutscene.
There are also plenty left wondering that the poor Lou dies or miraculously survives and there is less simple answer to explain.
Lou is Dead in Death Stranding 2?

The answer is yes and the Lou technically dead, it is lottle more complicated than that, at the beginning of the game, the Fragile and Lou are attacked and Fragile tries to send Lou away in order to let her to live.
Lou plhysical body and soul are separated. The Fragile sends her body away and her soul is still tethered, appearing as the BT in the BB pod found in the Sam bunker.
Sam sees Lou as the baby for the most part, through her body is undeniably dead. Tommorow will also explain that she grown up version of Lou, she also grew up on the Beach where she was teleported, there are time passes differently than the earth.
The technically her physical body is dead but her soul manifests into the Beach where she will remain kind of alive.
