Story summary

Brianna Cronin, a 29-year-old ecologist from Queensland, died after falling from a cliff at Kelingking Beach on Nusa Penida island near Bali, Indonesia. The incident occurred on Saturday when she slipped and became stranded on the southern side of a steep cliff while hiking to explore the area. Rescuers attempted to retrieve her body by boat but abandoned it due to dangerous swells, instead spending 90 minutes carrying her remains back up the clifftop.

Cronin, who graduated from the University of Queensland, was described by family members as a kind and curious person who loved nature. Her death has led her family to launch a GoFundMe page to raise funds for repatriating her body and covering funeral costs. They expressed their desire to "hold her close and say goodbye properly" and noted that each day without her remains brings them unbearable pain.

The tragic incident highlights the dangers of hiking at popular tourist spots like Kelingking Beach, which has seen warnings from other travelers about the risks involved in accessing such steep cliffs.
