Brazilian tourist found dead after falling from an Indonesian volcano
SAO PAULO, June 25, (AP): A young Brazilian hiker who fell hundreds of meters from the ridge of a towering Indonesian volcano and was trapped there for almost four days was found dead on Tuesday, Brazil's government said. For days, millions of people in Brazil had watched, posted and prayed as rescuers tried to locate her. The tourist, 26-year-old Juliana Marins, began summiting on June 21 Mount Rinjani, an active 3,726-meter (12,224-foot) volcano on the Indonesian island of Lombok, with a guide and five other foreigners when she fell some 600 meters (1,968 feet), Indonesian authorities said. "No signs of life were found,' said Mohammad Syafii, head of Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency. Marins' family in Brazil confirmed her death. The Indonesian rescue team said it found Marins' body beside a crater using a thermal drone after four days of intensive searches complicated by extremely harsh terrain and weather. The difficult conditions and limited visibility delayed the evacuation process, Syafii said, as the rescue team climbed carrying Marins' body to Sembalun basecamp but would have to wait until Wednesday for transport to a police hospital. Brazil's Foreign Ministry called her death a tragedy and said that the country's embassy in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, had coordinated the rescue with local authorities. Marins' ordeal has riveted her home country, Brazil, with millions following the dramatic search-and-rescue efforts since news broke of her fall. Authorities did not say when exactly she died. Adding to the frenzy in Brazil over her ordeal, Brazil's embassy in Jakarta had accused the Indonesian government of fabricating Marins' rescue and misinforming her family that she had been located and given food and water just hours after her fall. There was no immediate response from the Indonesian government on that claim. Indonesia's island of Lombok lies east of Jakarta and neighbors the island of Bali. Mount Rinjani, the country's second-tallest peak, is a popular destination for trekkers. In an Instagram post, Marins' family thanked the many Brazilians who had prayed for their daughter's safety. Marins, a dancer who lived in Niteroi, outside Rio de Janeiro, had been traveling across Asia since February, her family said. She had visited the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand before reaching Indonesia.

Hiker who fell into active volcano has died, family says
Lombok is directly east of the island of Bali. The woman's family identified her on social media as Brazilian tourist Juliana Marins and, on June 24, posted she did not survive the catastrophe. "Today a rescue team managed to reach the place Juliana Marins was," the post on Instagram reads. "With great sadness we inform you that she did not survive." According to a release from park officials, search and rescue team reported the hiker was spotted "using a drone, in a position stuck on a rock cliff at a depth of 500 meters and visually motionless." Volcano rescue: Visitor rescued from Hawaii park after falling 30 feet off cliff 'Extreme terrain and dynamic weather' Helicopters, at the governor's instruction, were dispatched to the area in an effort to help, the release reads. "Two rescue personnel were deployed to reach the victim's location and check the second anchor point at a depth of 350m (1,140 ft)," the park wrote in the post. "However, after observation, two large overhangs were found before reaching the victim, making it impossible to install the anchor. The rescue team had to climb to reach the victim." But, park officials reported, "extreme terrain and dynamic weather," dense fog conditions, and narrowed visibility have hampered the recovery. "The team remains vigilant and committed to continue best efforts for safety and humanity," the post reads. USA TODAY has reached out to Marins' family. Efforts continued on June 24, park officials said. "Pray for the safety of the whole team on the field," the post reads. Natalie Neysa Alund is a senior reporter for USA TODAY.
