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.
