Overview

  • Juliana Marins’s body was flown to Denpasar, Bali, where an autopsy is under way to establish the precise cause and time of her death.
  • Her family has filed legal action alleging that official rescue teams and the Brazilian embassy provided misleading updates and failed to reach her promptly.
  • Rescuers’ efforts were slowed by dense fog, steep slopes and unstable volcanic terrain, turning a seven-hour window into a four-day operation.
  • Local climber Agam Rinjani led the volunteer recovery effort, staying overnight at the crater and hauling Marins’s remains to safety at dawn.
  • Indonesia’s forestry ministry has shut all Mount Rinjani trekking routes while authorities conduct a comprehensive review of adventure tourism safety protocols.
