Juliana Marins, a 26-year-old Brazilian hiker, fell over 1,900 feet from Mount Rinjani in Indonesia and was found dead after almost four days of search efforts. Rescuers, facing harsh weather and difficult terrain, used a thermal drone to locate her body. Her death captured the attention of Brazil, provoking widespread outcry and criticism regarding the Indonesian government's handling of the situation, as allegations surfaced that they misinformed Marins' family about her condition during the search.
"No signs of life were found," said Mohammad Syafii, head of Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency, which underlined the tragic outcome of the search efforts.
The difficult conditions and limited visibility delayed the evacuation process, highlighting the challenges faced by rescue teams working in harsh terrain.
Brazil's Foreign Ministry called her death a tragedy, illustrating the gravity of the situation and the emotional impact on the victim's family and the country.
Adding to the frenzy in Brazil over her ordeal, Brazil's embassy in Jakarta had accused the Indonesian government of fabricating Marins' rescue.
