Ex-Chelsea star offers help to family of tragic tourist who died after plunging into active volcano crater during hike
AN EX-Chelsea footie star has offered to help the family of a young backpacker who died after slipping into a volcano during a hike. Juliana Marins, 26, tumbled more than 1,000ft from the ridge of Mount Rinjani in Indonesia down into the active crater, where she became trapped.

Now, Alexandre Pato - a former Brazil and Chelsea player - has offered to cover the cost of repatriating her body back to Brazil. It's unclear whether Juliana's family have accepted the kind gesture. Advertisement The devastated family has already gone public wit fierce criticism of Juliana's tour guide and the rescue effort. Her sister Marianna told Fantástico that Juliana was abandoned by her guide on the hike when she "got very tired" and stopped for a rest. Marianna said: "They continued on, and the guide didn't stay with her." Juliana was one of five travellers on the hike, led by a single tour guide. Advertisement And her family accused the Indonesian authorities of not doing enough to reach Juliana in time. They wrote: 'Juliana suffered serious negligence from the rescue team. Two killed and one injured in plane crash after pilot lost control while trying to dodge a turtle on the runway 'If they had reached her within the estimated seven-hour window, Juliana would still be alive.
