A New Zealand man is dead after a “brawl-type” bar fight on the Indonesian island of Bali.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff have confirmed the man’s name is Sean Headifen.
MFAT staff are helping family members in New Zealand and Mr Headifen’s girlfriend who is still in Bali.
A spokesman for the ministry said consulate staff are also liaising with police.
Up to seven people were being questioned in connection with the 22 year-old former soldier’s death, his relatives and friends had been told, the Dominion Post reported this morning.
Mr Headifen’s mother, Merrill Headifen, said she understood her son had became involved in a “brawl-type fight” in a bar overnight on Saturday, but it was unclear how it had started.
Miss Headifen, who learnt of her son’s death on Sunday, said she had been told a barman threw a bottle or glass at his head.
Mr Headifen was taken back to where he was staying with his girlfriend, Sarah, and floated in and out of consciousness during the night.
The couple tried to get medical help, but did not have enough cash on them to pay for an ambulance and did not have travel insurance.
His girlfriend tried to keep Mr Headifen awake, but she eventually fell asleep and when she woke up he was dead beside her.
She returned to the bar with police that morning and identified those involved in the fight.
Mr Headifen grew up in Levin and had served with the New Zealand peacekeeping force in East Timor.
A Foreign Affairs Ministry spokeswoman said embassy staff in Jakarta had been providing advice and support to the family.
“They’re also providing consular assistance to his travelling companion.”

Typerend hoe die zogenaamd lieve Balinese mensen met toeristen omgaan als er even iets gebeurt wat ze niet bevalt, dan wordt je gewoon doodgeslagen door het personeel en vervolgens laat het personeel van de ambulance je gewoon kreperen omdat je niet genoeg geld bij je hebt, wie gaat hier nu nog met plezier naartoe op vakantie?

Wat niet in dit bericht staat is, dat de Nieuw-Zeelander dronken was en toen een glas naar de barman gooide. Deze gooide toen een glas terug, die het hoofd van de Nieuw-Zeelander raakte. Lees hier het complete verhaal

Lijkt wat onrealistisch om te overlijden door alleen een glas tegen je hoofd.

The victim was drunk. He threw a glass at a barman who told him to exchange his beverage voucher at the cashier. The barman threw a glass back at him and it hit his left temple,” police spokesman Ketut Suwetra said.

Ik vraag me af wat er gaat gebeuren in een Amsterdamse discotheek als een dronken buitenlander de barman aanvalt .
