On September 22, the 23-year-old Australian swimmer drowned in Bali, a pool 1.5 meters deep, but he was close to 1.8 meters tall.
In May this year, 23-year-old Australian boy Byron Hadoe died in the swimming pool of a villa in Bali.
Originally, the family members were sad enough, but a series of subsequent events made this death case more and more bizarre.
The most puzzling thing about death itself.
Hado is 178cm tall, while the water depth of the pool where the accident happened is only 1.5 meters.
According to the rule, even if he stood in the pool, the head could also reveal most of it, it doesn't look like a situation of drowning.
But on the death certificate initially given by the local officials, it was simply written "drowning" two words, without mentioning the contradiction of height and depth of the water, which can not be accepted by the family.
Worse, the case was chaotic from the beginning.
After Hado's death, the local police did not intervene immediately, but took four days to receive the report.
When the police arrived at the scene, the evidence that should be left had already been destroyed, and the scene almost became blank.
It doesn’t matter, even the body tests didn’t keep up with the pace.
Gunawan, the forensic doctor in charge of autopsy in Indonesia, received the autopsy request on May 30th. As a result, because the body was frozen and needed to be thawed, the examination was delayed for another four days. The whole process was so slow that people were confusing.
As the family finally hoped to bring Hardo’s body back to Australia, a new blow came.
The body was sent back four weeks after his death. When the family opened the coffin, they were stunned on the spot.
There were many unreasonable cuts and bruises on Hado's body, blood on the towel wrapped in his body, and even more frightening, his heart was missing.
Good people sent out, returned but lacked an important organ, the family has not even a little psychological preparation.
Later, Indonesian forensics came out and explained that this was according to local regulations, and the judicial body examination could not have the consent of the family, but left important organs such as the heart and brain.
But Hado's family clearly said that they wanted to take their son's complete body home. Even if the forensic doctor didn't see the previous email, he should at least say hello to his family in advance, right?
It's really uncomfortable to hide the whole process and wait until the family members find out before making up for it.
Even more so that family burns, if you want to get back to the heart, you have to pay for yourself.
In the end, they spent 700 Australian dollars, almost 3,800 RMB, to transport the heart back from Bali.
But when the heart arrived, there were only two days left before Hado's funeral, and it was too late to postpone it. I could only finish the funeral with such regrets. This money is spent wrongly, and the knot in the hearts of family members is even bigger.
Family members had doubts about the statement of "drowning". Now, when they see the condition of the body, their doubts are even heavier.
They thought that Hadoe was not an accidental death, but rather a poisoning officer, possibly after being drowned and robbed.
In order to seek the truth, the family has not given up, while searching for clues on their own, while constantly pressuring, later under the attention of the international public opinion, the case finally moved from Indonesia to the coronation court in Queensland, Australia.
But the transnational investigation would be difficult, coupled with the previous evidence on the scene was almost lost, can we find out the results, who has no end in the heart.
In fact, looking through the past news, there are not many mysterious deaths of foreign tourists in Bali, and most of them are gone in the end.
Everyone has always had opinions on the efficiency and transparency of law enforcement in Indonesia, and many cases have become unsolved cases until the end.
This time, Hado's family members are very persistent, but in the face of such a big environment, it is not difficult to find out the truth.
This case has not yet been said, but has caused a lot of people to grumble.
Traveling is originally for fun, and no one wants to encounter such bad things.
Moreover, different countries have different regulations on autopsy and body disposal. Once an accident happens, family members can easily fall into passivity.
Just like Hado's case, if the process could be more formal at the beginning, the police could intervene in time, and the forensic doctor could communicate more with his family, it wouldn't have reached this point.
In the end, this is the most unpleasant thing, or even the family’s most basic right to information is not guaranteed.
Good relatives are gone, and they have to go back for the affairs of the body, spend money, and no one can bear it.
I hope the follow-up investigation can make some progress, at least give Hado's family an explanation, and let more people know how to deal with similar situations abroad.
