Australian man's tragic death during Bali holiday with family

A young father from Perth has died during a family trip on the Indonesian island of Bali.

Chris Taylor, who was described as a “great bloke” and a “beautiful soul”, died while holidaying with his partner and their two sons.

Details have not yet been released on how he died.

Mr Taylor is one of two Perth men who have died while on separate family holidays in Bali, with both deaths happening on Thursday.

Mr Taylor’s parents, partner and children remain on the Indonesian holiday island as they make arrangements to bring him home.

“It’s with a shattered heart that we have to make this post,” friend Beth Parker wrote on GoFundMe page to raise money to bring Mr Taylor’s body home.

“Chris Taylor tragically and unfairly passed away in Bali on 27 December. We don’t have many details to share.

“Unfortunately their travel insurance won’t adequately cover accidental death or repatriation.

“We are asking for help to bring him home, whatever you can spare, to ease this strain on Ebony and Chris’ family.”

Mr Taylor’s death follows the death of 69-year-old Ashok Joshi who drowned at Seminyak while holidaying with his wife and family.

Mr Joshi had arrived earlier the same day for a holiday with his wife, son and daughter-in-law, and their family.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed it was providing consular assistance to the families of two Australian men in Bali.
