An Australian man has tragically drowned in a hotel pool while holidaying in Bali.
Emergency services were called to a hotel in Legian on Sunday afternoon after the man, 74, was found unresponsive in the water.
He was unable to be revived, despite the desperate efforts of hotel guests, staff and paramedics.
‘Based on the external examination by the Denpasar Police Identification Team, no signs of violence from sharp or blunt objects were found on the victim’s body,’ Gede Adi Saputra said.
An autopsy will be conducted to determine the man’s exact cause of death.
He and his wife had arrived in Bali on Friday for a two week holiday.
Police said that the couple had just returned to the hotel after visiting Kuta Beach.
The man decided to go for a swim and jumped in the pool.
He began swimming laps but did not resurface, prompting his wife to scream for help.

Hotel guests pulled the man from the pool and commenced CPR but were unable to revive him.
The latest tragedy comes just days after another Aussie tourist died in Bali.
Jamie Cusack, 30 was found hanging on a hotel balcony in popular tourist hub Seminyak last Wednesday morning.
More to come.
