Overview

  • An autopsy by Dr Ida Bagus Putu Alit concluded that blunt force trauma to Marins’s chest and back caused massive internal bleeding, ruling out hypothermia on forensic grounds.
  • Indonesia’s Search and Rescue Agency was hindered by dense fog, unstable terrain and adverse weather, which postponed the recovery of her body until June 24.
  • Toxicology tests on her remains are expected within two weeks and could clarify her condition prior to the fall.
  • Marins’s family has filed negligence claims against rescue teams and park authorities over delays in the search and recovery operation.
  • Gunung Rinjani National Park has closed its trails and initiated a comprehensive review of safety and emergency protocols for the volcano’s trekking routes.
