• Aussie man dies in Balinese hotel restaurant

An Australian man has passed away at the Hotel Bounty in Bali, according to local police, after being discovered unconscious in the restaurant bathroom.
Rohan Max Fitzgerald was discovered on Sunday on the toilet floor with his cheek resting on a toilet seat. He had previously been sitting in the restaurant beside the pool at 3pm. Kuta police chief Nyoman Resa says that CCTV footage from the hotel shows Fitzgerald walking to the bathroom, where he remained for 15 minutes when before other guests found him.
A doctor at BIMC hospital attempted to save him for half an hour but was unsuccessful. His body is now awaiting autopsy.
Mr Nyoman has reported that 'there was no trauma found externally and because of his history of heart condition we would understand if the parents decided against an autopsy.' Mr Nyoman also said that it's possible Mr Fitzgerald's heart condition caused vomit to enter his respiratory  pathway, choking him.
Australian medication was also found in Mr Fitzgerald's room.

Johnson and Payton were pronounced dead on Friday at 10:45pm, though police believe they died earlier. An acquaintance of Payton's brother ,who leased the garage, discovered the pair after being sent to look for him.
