An autopsy has revealed chilling new details about the death of a Brazilian dancer who plunged 1000ft down a volcano.
Juliana Marins, 26, was trekking up Mount Rinjani, the second largest volcano in Indonesia, when she slipped and fell from a hiking trail early morning on June 21.
The young woman, from Rio de Janeiro, who worked as a publicist and pole dancer, plummeted off the edge of the trail.
An autopsy showed Ms Marins died of ‘blunt force trauma’ to ‘almost all parts of her body,’ that caused massive internal bleeding, according to News.com.au.
The report added that she would have died less than 20 minutes after the bleeding started.
It also ruled out hypothermia, since there were no signs of tissue damage or blackening on her fingers.
‘She died very quickly from her injuries,’ forensic specialist Dr. Ida Bagus Putu Alit told the outlet.
‘I could see that the worst [injuries] were related to the respiratory system and there were wounds to the chest area, and especially the chest and the back,’ he said.
‘These injuries damaged the internal organs,’ he added. ‘We saw a huge amount of bleeding in the chest cavity.’
The final results of the autopsy, which also include routine toxicology tests, are expected in two weeks.
Shocking drone footage taken in the wake of the tumble showed an injured Ms Marins cowering in a rocky ravine, having rolled 984ft down the steep hill before coming to a stop.
She was spotted by passing tourists after they heard her screams for help at the weekend.
Ms Martins was alive after her fall but was unable to climb back up the treacherous slopes after suffering injuries.
The stricken hiker also had no food, water or access to shelter.
The tourists immediately notified authorities, and rescue teams were dispatched to the volcano to locate and save the dancer.
When search teams finally reached her on June 24, she was dead and had plummeted nearly 2,000 feet from where she first fell.
Experts believe Ms Marins may have fallen a second time, leading to the fatal injuries.
Marins’ body was evacuated from Rinjani on Lombok on July 2, and transported to Bali Mandara Hospital where an autopsy was conducted the next day.
Her family still isn’t satisfied and has rejected the initial autopsy findings and requested a second autopsy back in Brazil, the outlet said.
Ms Marins’ relatives confirmed her death in a tragic social media post.
Their brief post read: ‘Today, the rescue team managed to reach the place where Juliana Marins was.
‘With great sadness, we inform you that she did not survive.
‘We remain very grateful for all the prayers, messages of affection and support that we have received.’
Speaking to press earlier this week, Nikolas Osman, spokesman for the East Lombok Police, said Ms Marins was hiking as part of a group and fell after she had taken a break due to tiredness.
Cemara Tunggal, the region in which the dancer fell, is between 8,500-8,900ft above sea level.
‘While heading to the summit of Rinjani on the way to the Cemara Tunggal area, the victim experienced fatigue and the guide at that time advised her to rest.
‘Then the five guests in the tour group were taken by the guide to continue the journey.
‘However, by the time he returned to fetch her, the Brazilian woman was already missing,’ Osman said.
A rescue team was dispatched to the scene after receiving an emergency call at 2.32pm local time on June 21 from horrified tourists.
Since then, six rescue teams have been working in difficult weather conditions to try to reach her, with the support of two helicopters and equipment such as an industrial drill.
On June 22, Ms Marins was spotted with a search drone, but when rescuers began descending the volcano on Monday she was no longer in the same position, suggesting she had tried to climb to safety, but to no avail.
Her body was eventually located by one of the rescue teams that managed to safely descend into the crater.
