An Indonesian tourist died on Wednesday after falling from a cliff at Uluwatu, Bali.

It’s alleged that the tourist, hailing from Solo, Java, had been taking a selfie at the edge of the cliff before he fell.

Kwan Anto Randy Saputro, 47, had come with his family to visit the famous Balinese Uluwatu Temple on Wednesday afternoon.

It’s alleged that Saputro leaned out to take a selfie and slipped and fell over the barrier on the cliff top, according to a Tribun Bali report.

Basarnas (Search and Rescue) was called to the scene to evacuate Saputro—who turned out not to have survived the fall. It took Basarnas about an hour and a half to two hours to evacuate the body because of their challenging position, along with a windy conditions and a high tide.

A video taken by Basarnas and released to Tribun Bali shows the full-on evacuation effort put on by the search and rescue team.

“The incident reported concerns a domestic tourist from Surakarta (Solo). We directly dispatched a rescue team with a ‘high angle’ rescue technique to rescue and evacuate the victim,” head of Basarnas Bali, Did Hamzar, told Tribun Bali.

“The victim died falling down from a cliff at Uluwatu with a height of approximately 100 to 120 meters,” Hamzar added.

Saputro’s body was immediately taken to Sanglah Hospital after being evacuated, reports said.
