'No signs of life were found,' said Mohammad Syafii, head of Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency.
Ms Marins' family in Brazil confirmed her death.

The Indonesian rescue team said it found Ms 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, Mr Syafii said.
Brazil's Foreign Ministry called her death a tragedy and said that the country's embassy in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, had co-ordinated the rescue with local authorities.
Ms Marins' ordeal has riveted her home country, Brazil, with millions following the dramatic search-and-rescue efforts since news broke of her fall.
Authorities did not say when exactly she died.
In an Instagram post, Ms Marins' family thanked the many Brazilians who had prayed for their daughter's safety.
Ms Marins, a dancer who lived in Niteroi, outside Rio de Janeiro, had been travelling across Asia since February, her family said. She had visited the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand before reaching Indonesia.

Holiday warning for Brits as selfie mistake could land you with £100,000 fine
Brits heading on holidays this summer are being warned to check the rules for taking photos in public spaces as some countries have some hefty fines in place if you get it wrong There's nothing quite like a holiday selfie with an appropriately smug caption ('How's your Monday going?' always seems to be a popular choice). However, Brits heading on Dubai holidays should take note of the UAE's privacy laws before getting their phone out in public spaces, or they could risk some hefty fines. Luxury travel specialists at eShores have warned: "One wrong snap could bankrupt your holiday budget. Taking photographs of people without explicit consent is classed as a serious privacy violation in the UAE, with tourists facing eye-watering fines of up to 500,000 AED (£110,000) or even imprisonment. Cameras are strictly banned in government buildings, certain palaces, and designated areas throughout the emirate, so that Instagram story could literally cost you your freedom." The experts warn that in general, no matter where you're travelling, it's worth avoiding snapping photos in certain settings, for example in certain religious sites, government facilities, military and security zones, or public spaces where there are strict privacy laws, the latter being the case for Dubai. It's not the first time that Brits have been urged to think twice before snapping a photo. In its UAE travel advice, the UK Foreign Office also warns Brits against "taking photos in secure areas". A statement explains: "It is illegal to take photos of some government buildings and military installations. Hobbies like bird watching and plane spotting may be misunderstood, particularly near military sites, government buildings and airports. "Do not photograph people without their permission. Men have been arrested for photographing women on beaches." Meanwhile, you'll also want to be mindful of what you're posting on social media. The Foreign Office warns: "It is illegal to post material, including videos and photographs, online that is critical of the UAE government, companies or individuals, or which relates to incidents in the UAE. This includes material which appears to abuse, ridicule or criticise the country or its authorities. Material that is culturally insensitive may also be considered illegal." It's not just Dubai where you may want to think before you get your camera out. In Japan, you could also face fines for taking photos in no-camera zones, although these are around the £55 mark. The eShores insiders explained: "Train stations, traditional ryokan inns, and historic geisha districts like Kyoto's world-famous Gion quarter all enforce strict no-camera policies. That candid shot of a geisha could land you a ¥10,000 (£55) fine – not to mention serious cultural offence." Gavin Lapidus, the travel firm's founder, added: "While social media has transformed how we document our travels, it's crucial that holidaymakers understand local laws and cultural sensitivities. What seems like an innocent holiday snap can result in serious legal consequences. "We always recommend travellers research photography restrictions before they travel, or better yet, speak to experienced travel consultants who understand each destination's cultural nuances and legal requirements. A few minutes of preparation could ultimately save you thousands of pounds in fines.'

Man finds 'Maldives of Europe' in most unexpected place with £30 return flights
A travel enthusiast claimed to have found the European alternative to the Maldives in a cheap and unexpected country - and it's just a £30 flight away - however, not everyone was convinced When people start describing what they believe paradise would look like, the Maldives often top the list or are what most people would imagine, even if they don't say it by name. Its idyllic sapphire waters and consistently balmy weather lead many to herald it as a slice of heaven on Earth. However, reaching the Maldivian shores can be expensive and take a long time, with journeys including long 12-hour flights as well additional travel by speedboat or seaplane to get to your resort. For those seeking an escape closer to British shores, a globetrotter named Scott claimed he's discovered Europe's answer to the Maldivian paradise – and it's only a £30 return flight away. Taking to Instagram, Scott shared his discovery with a video montage of his holiday, which including enjoying the sunny days by dipping into the clear turquoise water. "POV: You find the European Maldives in the cheapest most unexpected country," he wrote in the caption of his video, which has gone viral on the platform with over 5.2million views. His video continued to show the white sandy beaches leading up to the blue waves, where visitors relax under parasols at tables and chairs sprinkled along the shore. Scott also raved about the cheap yet incredible accommodation options with beach views and pool access, which once again looks like they belonged on the Maldives. He then shared clips of the many bars and beach clubs available for your evening activities. While it all looked like it belonged to another world, Scott revealed the place in question was Ksamil in Albania. It's located in the riviera of Southern Albania, just 15 kilometres (9 miles) south of Saranda and near the Greek island of Corfu. During the summer months, Ksamil becomes one of Albania's most popular and crowded beach destinations, attracting both locals and international tourists looking for an affordable Mediterranean paradise. However, Scott's glowing review sparked a mixed bag of reactions from those who had visited Ksamil themselves, as not everyone had enjoyed the holiday spot as much as he had. One viewer commented: "It does not look like this... I fell for this con last summer," with another echoing the sentiment as they labelled it a 'tourist trap'. However, others jumped to Ksamil's defence, suggesting that timing is key to making the most of the destination. They recommended visiting during the early or late parts of summer to avoid the peak tourist season in July and August. One defender of Ksamil said: "That's our Holiday Season then, but when you go some other time it is this calm and Beautiful Like in the Video. I myself am every year in Albania and can say the Video is right with this Beauty," Another simply stated: "It looks amazing."
