Australian woman dies after vodka binge
Indonesian police say Summa Simmonds died after she consumed more than a bottle of vodka while on holiday at a luxury resort in Bali.
Indonesian police claim Ms Simmonds, from Cairns in Far North Queensland, had consumed a "whole bottle of vodka" - or around 21 drinks - before having six more shots later in the evening.
Badung Police Precinct Chief Budi Setiawan said when Ms Simmonds went to her villa she began vomiting.
"The victim fainted, was unconscious, and her pulse became weak. The victim's face and lips turned blue," he said.
Two women who were with Ms Simmonds - her sister and a friend, believed to be aged 46 and 20 - performed CPR and called the hotel's reception for a doctor, he said.
The doctor arrived just after midnight to find Ms Simmonds lying on the pool deck. She was pronounced dead minutes later, Superintendent Budi said.
He said police suspected that she died from drinking too much alcohol. The investigation is ongoing.
Fairfax Media understands Ms Simmonds and her sister had travelled to Bali with a Queensland dance troupe and were acting as chaperones on the trip.
One friend said, despite the comments from Indonesian police, the circumstances surrounding Ms Simmonds' death were not clear.
A spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said officials were providing consular assistance to the woman's family.
One of Ms Simmonds' relatives posted a photo of her online, alongside the message: "I'm in so many pieces I don't know how to put myself back together".
Friends expressed shock and sent condolences to Ms Simmonds' family, including to her children.
"I'm so numb, can't believe that a beautiful soul has been taken away so soon. Love to the whole family we are thinking of you all in this time of shock and grief," wrote one woman, Sue.
Another friend, Melissa, wrote: "I can't believe it. My brain refuses to believe. Absolutely devastating. My thoughts and prayers are with this beautiful family".
Police are attempting to get permission to perform an autopsy, and have taken samples of the drinks for testing.
