Two Perth men die on Bali holidays

Two Perth men have died while on separate family holidays on the Indonesian island of Bali.

Chris Taylor's family is trying to repatriate his body after he suddenly died on Thursday.

He was on holiday with his partner Ebony and their two sons.

"It's with a shattered heart that we have to make this post. Chris Taylor tragically and unfairly passed away in Bali on 27 December. We don't have many details to share," friend Beth Parker posted on a Go Fund Me page.

"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 was the second Perth man to die on the holiday island on Thursday.

Ashok Joshi, 69, was swimming at Seminyak when he got swept out and drowned, News Corp reports.

It's been reported he had arrived earlier the same day for a holiday with his wife along with his son and daughter-in-law and their family.

When asked about Mr Joshi's death, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said in a statement it was providing consular assistance to the family of an Australian man who died in Bali.
