Overview

• Harrison Edward Nada-Kontounas, 23, was found about 3.2km offshore from Legian/Kuta Beach, with injuries including a head wound and a broken nose confirmed in family statements.
• He disappeared after being caught in a powerful rip current while swimming with friends, as waves up to roughly 2.5m and strong winds complicated rescue operations.
• Basarnas-led teams searched using boats, a jet ski and drones, with authorities saying sea conditions restricted the initial on-water response.
• Friends allege delays and inadequate action by lifeguards and responders, though the family also credited a lifeguard named Marlon with nearly reaching him and later recovering his body.
• A GoFundMe topped £27,000 to fund private searches, including a hired helicopter, and will now support repatriation and funeral costs, as the UK Foreign Office provides consular assistance.
