Bali is a popular destination among Australians who want to soak in tropical delight.
However, its serene atmosphere was once again disrupted by a grim discovery that shocked both tourists and locals.
Brisbane local Pauline Cannon, 67, was found dead in her hotel room at The Pullman Hotel, Kuta.
Hotel staff discovered her body in a bath on Sunday, 7:30 am, after seeing water flowing from Cannon's hotel room to the hotel's corridor.
Staff reached out to the occupant by calling the room multiple times.
With no response from Cannon, hotel staff used a security master key to enter her accommodation.
The scene that greeted them was one of unexpected tragedy: Cannon, dressed in a pink shirt and shorts, was submerged in the bathtub with the tap still running.
Despite immediate attention from medics, Cannon had no pulse and was not breathing.
An external examination conducted by local police revealed no signs of violence on her body.
Cannon was weeks away from celebrating her supposed 68th birthday.
Hours before her death, Cannon actively posted on social media and shared a light-hearted video of herself at the hotel bar.
With a smile and laughter, she toasted to the camera, 'Here we go. Say goodnight, Irene,' before taking a shot.
The caption of the Cannon's 20-second clip read, 'The things you do in Bali'—which reflected the carefree spirit often sought by visitors on the island.
The news of Cannon's death left her family grappling with grief and confusion.
Australian authorities have already stepped in to offer support during this difficult time.
'The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is providing consular assistance to the family of an Australian who died in Bali,' the agency stated.
As the investigation continues, many still speculate about what happened to Pauline Cannon hours between her cheerful social media post and the tragic discovery the following day.
This incident is a sobering reminder of the importance of safety and vigilance while travelling abroad.
