GIANYAR, Bali<\/strong> \u2014 An unidentified man’s body was discovered Friday afternoon lodged between rocks in the Ayung River, one of Bali’s most popular white-water rafting destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The body was found around 11:00 a.m. local time near the boundary between Ubud in Gianyar Regency and Abiansemal in Badung Regency, according to local authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He was found in a rigid condition,” said Kopda I Wayan Gede Suardika, a military officer assigned to Bongkasa Pertiwi Village. “At the time of discovery, he was wearing only a pair of short denim jeans and no shirt.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man’s identity remains unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witnesses reported seeing the body trapped among rocks in a section of the river regularly used by rafting operators carrying tourists through Bali’s jungle-lined canyons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the strong current, the body did not drift downstream because it had become wedged between large rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police, disaster response officials, and members of the Indonesian Red Cross arrived at the scene shortly after receiving reports from local residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recovery efforts proved challenging due to river conditions. The evacuation was finally carried out at approximately 12:35 p.m., with responders accessing the location through a riverside hotel in Ubud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several hotel guests and rafting participants reportedly witnessed the body before it was removed from the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities have not yet released information regarding the cause of death, and investigators are continuing efforts to identify the victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, one question remains unanswered: how an unidentified man ended up among the rocks of Bali’s most famous river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
