Details for funeral of Noosa FIFO worker Byron Haddow after Bali death

A Sunshine Coast FIFO worker’s funeral details have been revealed as the Queensland Coroner confirms the investigation into his Bali death will continue here.

The Queensland coroner has confirmed it will investigate the death of a much-loved FIFO worker in Bali, as his funeral details have been revealed.

Noosa man Byron Haddow, 23, died on May 26 in the Indonesian island paradise and his family still has questions over what happened in the hours leading up to the tragedy.

Byron was in Bali for a holiday between FIFO stints in the Northern Territory.

His parents Robbie and Chantal Haddow know he went out in Legian, north of Kuta, and returned home to the private villa where he had stayed for days.

What happened in the hours before Byron’s death, however, remain a mystery.

Mr Haddow said last week he could not comment further because of the investigation.

A Queensland Coroners Court spokesman said Byron’s death had been referred to the court by the Queensland Attorney-General.

“As this matter is currently an open coronial investigation, no further information can be provided at this time,” he said.

Byron’s grieving parents last week told this publication they could not hold a funeral for their son until an autopsy was completed.

Mr Haddow has since confirmed the funeral date for Byron, which is scheduled for 2pm on June 23 at Gregson and Weight Funerals in Noosaville.

Mr Haddow said Byron was wise beyond his years and even doing tip runs with him when he was boy would result in Byron chatting with the manager.

“He’d have an adult conversation from the age of six,” he said.

Mrs Haddow said their oldest son, one of three children, was a “wise” soul from an early age.

The family acknowledged the FIFO and Noosa communities and those who donated to the GoFundMe set up for their son, which has to date raised more than $35,000.

The money helped bring his body home.

Mr Haddow previously said he wanted to raise awareness in other young people of possible dangers in Bali.

“We’ve been over there a dozen times, Byron’s been over there three or four times, we love the place but it just seems these days after Covid they seem to be targeting young Australians,” Mr Haddow said.
