Ingrid Daniela Vera Figueroa, 42, dies after falling about 2,000 feet down a volcano in Chile while climbing with friends to celebrate her birthday, according to multiple reports. The accident occurs around 3 p.m. on Sunday, with the group climbing during the day. One account says she is climbing one of Chile’s largest and most active volcanoes, and that she was celebrating her 42nd birthday at the time of the fall. Another report describes an earlier “ominous” post before the incident, but the accounts agree on the overall circumstances: a fall during a volcano climb with friends and a death resulting from the fall. The reports do not provide additional details about the exact location on the mountain, the cause of the fall, or whether rescue efforts were undertaken and their outcomes. The information available focuses on her identity, her age, the approximate height of the fall, the timing of the incident, and the fact it happens during her birthday celebration while climbing.
