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.
