Overview
- Bali regional police said Paul Dougan died in hospital after being hospitalised following an alleged assault at the One Tribe One Life Lounge and Cafe in Kuta.
- The Dougan family say he suffered severe injuries including internal bleeding, 10 broken ribs, three major surgeries and removal of his spleen before he died.
- His son Liam has publicly accused a group of Australians of the attack and set up a GoFundMe that has raised tens of thousands of dollars to help cover mounting medical and related costs.
- Police have confirmed an active criminal probe but have not publicly identified suspects, confirmed any arrests, released forensic findings or said whether foreign consular services are involved.
- Investigators are expected to review CCTV, medical and witness evidence and the outcome could prompt cross‑border cooperation if suspects are located outside Indonesia, while the family seeks answers and accountability.
