The alleged assault reportedly occurred at an entertainment venue in Legian, Badung Regency, at around 2:00 a.m. on August 5, 2026.

Following the incident, PID returned to the hotel where he was staying. On August 8, he received medical treatment at Murni Teguh Hospital before being transferred to BIMC Hospital on August 9 for further treatment.

However, at approximately 12:06 p.m. on August 20, the hospital declared PID dead. His body was subsequently transferred to Dharma Yadnya General Hospital.

Four Australian Nationals Under Investigation

Police are also examining CCTV footage and videos of the incident, which are considered important evidence in the ongoing investigation.

Preliminary findings identified four Australian nationals who are believed to be linked to the incident. They have been identified by the initials RGG, PAM, JRM and TRZ.
