An Italian tourist died while visiting a waterfall in West Bali, where he fell 25 meters to his death.
As reported by RadarBali.com, Giancarlo Zicari (48) of Matera, Italy, fell to his death from a cliff edge at the waterfall located at Villa Gajah Mas, Banjar Baturiti Kelod, in the Baturiti District on Sunday, 04 August 2024 at approximately 11:20 am.
The Italian man fell from a 25-meter cliff-facing while taking a “selfie” photograph with his female companion.
Inspector Gusti Made Berata, a spokesman for the Tabanan Police Precinct, confirmed the details of the tragic accident.
Zicari’s companion, Biagi Ilaria, told police they had visited the waterfall at 11:15 am.
The couple had earlier inquired with an employee of the Villa located near the waterfall, who directed them to the waterfall located about 500 meters away from the Villa. The couple arrived at the waterfall at around 11:20 am. Overlooking the waterfall was a viewing area enclosed by an iron fence with a wooden bench.
While taking a “selfie,” the couple seemingly leaned against the fence, which gave way, causing them to slip and fall down the cliff.
Following the fall and after regaining consciousness, Biagi, who had also suffered cuts and abrasions, managed to climb back up the cliff to seek help for the unconscious Giancarlo.
Giancarlo Zicari was lifeless when rushed to a nearby health facility, where medical personnel declared him dead on arrival.
