Juliana Marins, a popular hiking influencer, tragically lost her life after falling from a cliff near the trail next to the crater of Mount Rinjan in Indonesia. The 26-year-old Brazilian tourist succumbed to internal bleeding caused by severe damage to her organs and bone fractures, as revealed by a recent autopsy.
The search for Marins lasted three days before authorities discovered her lifeless body on June 24. It was determined that she survived the initial fall but passed away within 20 minutes of the onset of bleeding. The injuries she sustained, including blunt force trauma, were deemed fatal and ultimately led to her untimely demise. The most severe damage was to her abdomen, affecting her respiratory system.
Further investigation into Marins’ death is ongoing, with toxicology tests and additional autopsy results expected in the coming weeks. The coroner, Dr. Ida Bagus Putu Alit, confirmed that there were no signs of hypothermia or prolonged suffering post-injury. The estimated time of her passing was between 1 a.m. and 1 p.m. on the day her remains were recovered.
The Brazilian government expressed deep sorrow over Marins’ passing, acknowledging the challenges faced during the search and recovery efforts in the treacherous terrain surrounding Mount Rinjani. An Instagram account dedicated to the search quickly gained a massive following, reflecting the widespread concern and support for Marins and her family.
In a heartbreaking statement, Marins’ family confirmed her tragic death and expressed gratitude for the outpouring of prayers and support they received. They have requested a second autopsy to clarify the circumstances of her death and ensure all relevant information is considered.
Local authorities are actively pursuing leads and interviewing witnesses, including Marins’ trekking organizer and guide, Ali Musthofa. Musthofa vehemently denies any negligence on his part, stating that he briefly left Marins alone to rest and returned to find her missing. Despite hearing her calls for help, he was unable to reach her in time to prevent the fatal accident.
As the investigation unfolds and more details emerge, the online community mourns the loss of Juliana Marins, a vibrant influencer whose passion for hiking touched the hearts of many. Her memory lives on through the stories shared by those who knew and admired her adventurous spirit.
