Autopsy reveals cause of death for Brazilian tourist who fell into volcano
Tourist survived initial fall at Indonesian volcano, autopsy reveals
- Juliana Marins, a Brazilian tourist, died after falling about 600m down a cliffside while hiking Indonesia’s Mount Rinjani on 21 June.
- An autopsy revealed she died within 20 minutes of her fatal injuries due to “internal bleeding caused by damage to organs and bone fractures” from blunt force trauma.
- She initially survived a 150m fall and was seen alive, but the subsequent 600m fall is believed to have caused the fatal injuries.
- Her body was located on 24 June using a thermal drone, with rescue efforts hampered by fog, shifting sands, and difficult terrain.
- The 26-year-old’s family has criticised the rescue team's response time, claiming she could have been saved, while Indonesian officials cited challenging conditions for the delays.
