A young Brazilian hiker who fell hundreds of feet 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, Juliana Marins, 26, began summiting Mount Rinjani on Saturday. She was joined by a guide and five other foreigners a she made her way up the active 12,224-foot volcano on the Indonesian island of Lombok. Then she fell some 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.
