Chilling details have emerged following the tragic death of a three-year old girl who drowned in a Balinese pool.
The still grieving father had to contact his Airbnb and ask for extra time to check out following the tragic events, according to Daily Mail Australia
Janna Al Easawi, from Sydney’s western suburbs, died after being pulled from a swimming pool by her father on Thursday afternoon.
She had been holidaying with her family at their villa in Semiyak when her parents mistakenly thought the gate to the pool had been locked.
Janna Al Easawi father discovered was the first to spot her and pulled her out of the pool before rushing her to the D’Square Medical Centre.
Another holidaying Australian helped Janna’s dad, giving the young girl CPR before she was taken to hospital.
The father reportedly contacted the Airbnb asking if he could leave the luggage at the resort and if they would incur and extra charge.
The airbnb offered their condolences and that there they didn’t need to worry about the luggage.
The staffer also offered to help with the authorities, with the grieving dad replying “thank you”.
The Campbelltown three-year-old had already begun swimming lessons, her family said, warning other families that children should always be supervised near pools.
“The family continues to cope with the tragic loss of their beloved angel,” loved ones told 7NEWS.
“Her memory will live on forever in the countless moments she gifted us.
“Janaa’s smile had the power to light up every room, and her love for her parents, family, friends, and her cherished parrot (Coco) was boundless.”
While Australia has strict laws on pool fences across the country to prevent children drowning, in Bali no such laws exist.
This is the second drowning of an Australian child in Bali in the past three months.
On October 19, 14-month old Khyden James drowned in the pool of another villa, just a few kilometres north of Seminyak in Kerobokan.
Royal Life Saving Australia chief executive Justin Scarr said it was important for parents to remember pool fencing laws had been instrumental in protecting young children, and do not exist in Bali.
“We’re very privileged and lucky to have very robust pool fencing regulations in Australia and it’s protecting our children,‘ Mr Scarr said in October.
“The drowning rate of Australian children has reduced substantially in the last 30 years since those laws came in, but those laws don’t apply to many countries overseas — including Indonesia.”
Friends and relatives told 7NEWS “the family continues to cope with the tragic loss of their beloved angel,” planning to bring her home for a funeral.
“Janaa’s smile had the power to light up every room, and her love for her parents, family, friends, and her cherished parrot (Coco) was boundless,” they told 7NEWS.
“Our precious Janaa, you will be forever loved and remain in our hearts, always.”
