Perth grandpa dies after alleged assault in Bali bar
Paul Dougan was admitted to a Bali hospital more than two weeks after he was allegedly attacked, and was pronounced dead on Thursday.
Perth grandfather Paul Dougan has died after alleged assault at a Bali bar, according to his family. Police in Indonesia are investigating the incident. The family claims the 78-year-old was brutally beaten and kicked by a group of unidentified Australians at the One Tribe One Life Lounge and Cafe in Kuta, a popular tourist area.
He required three major surgeries and died on Thursday afternoon. Liam Dougan, Paul's son, expressed his heartbreak and confusion in a social media post, promising to love and remember his father forever. The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is not currently assisting the family. The Gosnells Football Club, where Paul was a well-respected member, also conveyed their condolences, noting his significant impact on the community. The ABC has refrained from publishing photos of Dougan pending permission from his family.
