ali Police are set to resume their investigation into the death of Byron Haddow, a 23-year-old Australian tourist who drowned in a villa in the popular North Kuta area in May.
The case drew renewed attention recently after Haddow’s family discovered that his body was repatriated to Australia without his heart, sparking concerns of foul play.
Bali Police spokesperson Sr. Comr. Ariasandy said authorities planned to collaborate with the Australian Federal Police to interview three Australians who were staying with Haddow at the time of the incident.
“Bali Police have not yet had the opportunity to question the three Australians, as they left the island shortly after the incident,” he said on Wednesday.

According to Ariasandy, Haddow’s body was found floating in the pool of The Grove Villa in North Kuta at around 8 a.m. on May 26.
According to CCTV footage, Haddow spent the evening before his death drinking alcohol by the pool with three fellow Australian tourists and villa roommates: Bailey Peter Woods, Kristy Lee Pepperell and Jade Emeleah Lucas. It remains unclear if Haddow had any personal ties to them.
