A 32-year-old model, Rahmadiyah Diyanti, lost her life during a photography session on the seaside of Pantai Mejan, Tabanan, West Bali on Saturday, June 23, 2012.
According to Kompas.com, the woman, from Malang, East Java, was being photographed by French photographer Dominique Ja Clande when she slipped at the ocean’s edge and fell into the sea.
The photographer, who was photographing Diyanti at a distance when she fell, rushed to her assistance and jumped into the ocean in a futile attempt to save the woman.
Heavy seas and strong currents thwarted Ja Clande’s rescue attempts, carrying the woman and the photographer out to sea. Local fishermen eventually brought the two to shore, but the woman had already perished.
