9News has been told he had been running that morning, and police believe he may have passed out from exhaustion underwater.

Witnesses tried to revive him, and performed CPR for 20 minutes until an ambulance arrived and took his body to Sanglah Hospital in Denpasar.

His family now have the painstaking task of bringing his ashes home after he was cremated on Tuesday.
