Cause of Death Revealed After Brazilian Found Dead Near Volcano

More details have come to light regarding Juliana Marins’ death.
After the Brazilian tourist was found dead in Mount Rinjani in Indonesia, coroners from the country have confirmed her cause of death.
In a report obtained by Agencia Brasil and translated from Portuguese, Marins is confirmed to have died from internal bleeding caused by damage to the organs as well as bone fractures from a blunt force trauma only hours before her body was discovered. Marins is thought to have died about 20 minutes after the bleeding began. The medical personnel were able to rule out hypothermia as there were no signs of damage to Marins’ fingers.
A final autopsy including toxicology results is forthcoming, per Agencia Brasil. E! News has attempted to obtain Marins’ initial autopsy report.
Marins, 27, was hiking around the active volcano when she slipped and fell off of a 12,000-foot cliff June 21. The coroner reported, per Agencia Brasil, that she was likely alive and waiting for rescue for several days before her body was recovered June 24. Throughout the hiker’s disappearance, approximately 50 people assisted in search and rescue efforts.
“The Brazilian government announces, with deep regret, the death of Brazilian tourist Juliana Marins, who had fallen from a cliff that surrounds the trail next to the crater of Mount Rinjani,” Marins’ home country wrote in a statement June 24, noting that her body was found after “four days of work, hindered by adverse weather, terrain and visibility conditions in the region.”
Mount Rinjani’s official Instagram account also confirmed that Marins’ body was difficult to locate due to the conditions on the hiking trails.
“The rescue operation was challenging due to steep terrain and heavy fog,” a June 25 statement read, “but thanks to the coordinated efforts of all involved, the mission was successfully completed.”
Days after Marins’ body was recovered, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed a decree to pay for the transportation of her body back to her home country.
“I’m going to issue a new decree so that the Brazilian government takes on the responsibility of paying for the costs of Juliana’s transfer to Brazil,” Lula da Silva wrote in a June 27 Instagram post, “so that her family and friends can say goodbye to her with all the affection and love she deserves.”

Jamie Lynn Spears' then-8-year-old daughter Maddie Aldridge was driving an ATV in February 2017 when she accidentally flipped it into a pond near their Louisiana home, leaving her submerged under water for minutes.
"When we were finally able to get her out of the water and I saw her and then the first responders took her from me, we thought she was gone," Jamie Lynn recalled on a 2020 episode of Maria Menounos Better Together podcast. "We thought we'd lost our daughter."
Though the family wasn't sure what sort of damage had been done, Maddie was awake and talking two days later. A few weeks after that, she was back to her normal routine.
"God gave me the blessing of giving me my daughter back," Jamie Lynn continued. "I lost her and I got her back."

"It was just a freak accident, and my nose got split open, so I left set. It was my last night of shooting. I was like, 'How unlucky can I be?'"
Surrounded by a pool of her own blood, "I was freaking out," she admitted of the 2023 incident. "They take an ambulance and they have to call a plastic surgeon, because if they didn’t, I would have been permanently disfigured. So we got the plastic surgeon, they did all the stitches, and you can’t tell now."
Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon almost lost his finger after he tripped and fell in his own home. He tried catching himself on the counter and his ring got stuck on the way down, pulling his finger out.

An experienced hiker who competes in distance running, swimming and triathlons, Zane Wach was nearly felled by altitude sickness while hiking with his dad Ryan Wach on California's Mount Whitney in June 2025.
"He started to experience some hallucinations," Ryan explained to to the SFGATE of the 14-year-old. "He knew he was hallucinating. He said he saw things like snowmen and Kermit the Frog."
Ryan managed to stop his teen from walking off the cliff multiple times as they made their way back down the trail. “He was in an altered mental state, and I don’t know what caused it. We still don’t know,” the father noted. “My best guess is a combination of exhaustion, sleep deprivation, probably some dehydration and lasting effects from the altitude sickness. But he essentially started to doubt reality.”
And on a third attempt, Ryan was too far away to catch Zane, watching as his son fell roughly 120 feet off the cliff. After waiting six hours for an Inyo County Search & Rescue helicopter to get there and fly Zane to Southern Inyo Hospital in Lone Pine, he was stabilized and transferred to a pediatric trauma center in Las Vegas. Placed into a medically induced coma, he eventually began breathing on his own.
“It’s going to be a survival story in the end," Ryan said of his teen, who suffered head trauma along with a broken finger, ankle and fractured pelvis, "but right now we’re still in the middle of it."

"As I lay on the ice, my heart rate slowed, and right there, on that New Year’s Day, unknown to my daughter, my sisters, my friends, my father, my mother, I just got tired," he wrote in his 2025 memoir My Next Breath. "After about thirty minutes on the ice of breathing manually for so long, an effort akin to doing ten or twenty push-ups per minute for half an hour . . . that’s when I died."
Fighting broken bones, blood loss and the threat of hypothermia, "I know I died—in fact, I’m sure of it," he wrote. “When the EMTs arrived, they noted that my heart rate had bottomed out at 18, and at 18 beats per minute, you’re basically dead."

"When I was 19 I fell three floors from a window and broke my back," Orlando Bloom shared in a joint 2022 Instagram video with UNICEF. He had been trying to climb to the rooftop terrace of a three-story building with friends when the drainpipe he was scaling collapsed. Though he broke several vertebrae in his back, "I was very fortunate to survive the fall because my spinal cord was still just intact."
Still, he detailed, "When I was in the hospital, I was told for the first four days that I may never walk again. That was really the beginning of what was a long and painful journey for me into recognizing and understanding some of the patterns that had been in my life that had led me to having numerous accidents. And the culmination was breaking my back, which was a near-death experience."

The experience has "informed everything in my life," he added. "Until you're close to losing it, you don't realize. I used to ride motorbikes and drive cars like everything was a racetrack; it was ridiculous. It wasn't because I thought it was cool; it was just because I loved living on the edge. But I've chilled."
