Two men who were stuck in Vietnam in the aftermath of two Melbourne mates’ tragic deaths are believed to have got out of the country but a third remains there.

The Herald Sun has been told the pair flew out of the South-East Asian nation in recent days after previously being unable to leave following the deaths of Vincent Atulia and Andrew Colivas.

The Department of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that it was providing consular assistance to one Australian in Vietnam.

DFAT had previously said it was supporting three people.

DFAT is assisting one Australian in Vietnam after Vincent Atulia’s death.

Andrew Colivas also died in mysterious circumstances during the holiday.

“Owing to our privacy obligations we are unable to provide further comment,” the latest DFAT statement said.

DFAT provides consular help to Australians whose welfare is at risk in a foreign country.

The nature of the assistance being provided in this case is unclear.

Mr Atulia, 24, and Mr Colivas, 25, died late last month in mysterious circumstances while on a holiday.

Vietnamese police are investigating whether the deaths of Colivas and Atulia were caused by drug overdoses.

A number of other people from Victoria are believed to have been fraternising with them during the Vietnam trip.

Atulia and Colivas were well-known in Melbourne’s southeastern suburbs.

Both had faced serious criminal charges over the years but support for them has been strong with more than $100,000 raised to help their families.
