A Dutch tourist was found dead hanging from the ceiling of his hotel room in the Kuta Beach Club hotel on Jalan Bakung Sari Kuta, Bali, on Wednesday.
Johannes Henricus Damasus Maria Reijbroek, 60, checked in to room 297 at the hotel on Tuesday but did not check out the following day.
At 5 p.m. on Wednesday a security officer knocked on his door but there was no response.
“I knocked and knocked but he didn't come out so I asked a receptionist to help me break the door open,” the officer told Kompas.com.
Inside they found the tourist's body hanging from the ceiling on a nylon rope.
Officers from Kuta Police who processed the crime scene did not find any wounds or suspicious marks on his body.
“His hands and feet were bound with duct tape,” said Kuta Police Chief Adj. Comr. Wimboko.
The body was taken to Sanglah General Hospital for an autopsy.
“We cannot say whether he died from suicide or from a foul play before the autopsy finishes,” Wimboko said.

Ah I see, and here I was thinking something fishy was going on
Sherlock Holmes usually assume his conclusion based from motives which corresponds to some probability of action which the chief of police should do by contact the tourist connections first like relatives or friends.
wow better than all my mystery murder books.
hands and feet duct taped after death, sounds like vampires or ghoulies to me.
is this normal , making fun over somebody dying?
I don't think they're making fun of him dying but of the Kuta Police Chief who says he doesn't know if foul play was involved or if he committed suicide even though his feet and hands were duct taped together. It seems improbable that he could have hanged himself with his hands duct taped together but not impossible if they were tied in front of his body.
