Landslide victim Angelina Smith posts tragic final video before being killed alongside partner Luciano Kross

Angelina Smith had posted a carefree video of herself hours before she was killed alongside her partner in a devastating Bali landslide.

The Australian landslide victim posted videos of herself dancing on the deck of her Bali villa hours before being killed.

Angelina Smith, 47, died in the disaster alongside her partner Luciano Kross, 50, when the building they were staying in at Jatiluwih village was swept away while they were still sleeping.

The couple, who live elsewhere in Bali along with Mr Kross’ two sons, had checked into the Yeh Baat villa about 8pm on Wednesday.

Mr Kross posted a series of photos to social media on Wednesday, showing the villa situated in the middle of dense jungle and sweeping grasslands, with the caption: “Ancient paradise”.

A deluge of rain hit the holiday island on Thursday morning, causing the landslide, local disaster mitigation agency official I Nyoman Srinadha Giri said.

“The victims were evacuated from the debris while in sleeping (positions),” he told AFP.

“There were two victims, a man and a woman in one bed.”

The couple’s holiday took a tragic turn when the building they were staying in at Jatiluwih village was swept away while they were still sleeping.

Water canals that sat above the villa – designed for irrigation – were reportedly eroded by the severe rain and triggered the fatal landslide.

The bodies of the victims were transferred to a hospital in Denpasar, the capital of the province.

It comes as intense rain on Sumatra Island last week caused landslides and floods, killing at least 27 people.

A Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesperson said consular assistance was being provided to the Ms Smith’s family.

“We send our deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time,” they said.

“Owing to our privacy obligations, we are unable to provide further comment.”

Landslides in Indonesia have been aggravated in some places by deforestation, with prolonged torrential rain causing flooding in some areas.

Landslides and floods triggered by intense rains on Sumatra island last week killed at least 27 people.

Over the past eight years, Indonesia has had around 4,000 landslides, with heavy rain seasons being the main contributing factor. A whopping 1483 occurred in 2019 alone.

In 2014, the infamous Karangkobar landslide killed 93 people and left 23 missing.
