Family’s heartbroken message after Brazilian tourist’s volcano death
- Juliana Marins, a 26-year-old Brazilian hiker, was found dead after falling down a cliff on Indonesia's Gunung Rinjani volcano last week.
- Her family has accused the local search and rescue team of "great negligence," claiming she could have been saved if they had reached her sooner.
- Mohammad Syafii, head of Indonesia's rescue agency, stated that the four-day retrieval was hampered by rough terrain, adverse weather, and the inability to use a helicopter.
- Marins reportedly fell approximately 600m and was seen moving and calling for help after the initial fall, but rescue efforts were thwarted by difficult conditions.
- Her body was recovered on Wednesday and transported to Bali for an autopsy to determine the cause and time of death.
