The body of a young Sydney real estate agent<\/a> who died mysteriously in Bali last month will arrive home in Australia on Sunday, where his family hopes\u00a0an autopsy will finally provide some answers.<\/p>\n

Charlie Bradley, 28, died a few hours after drinking at a beach club in Canggu on the evening of\u00a0Sunday April 16.<\/p>\n

He left just after midnight and called a taxi to his villa, but somehow ended up outside a medical clinic around 4am, where he collapsed on the road.<\/p>\n

“When I opened the door I could see he was having a seizure,” said Yeni Wahyuni, a nurse at the 24-hour Bhaktivedanta clinic.<\/p>\n

With no doctor available, the clinic had no choice but to turn Mr Bradley away, but by then he was barely alive.<\/p>\n

A local taxi driver and\u00a0two bystanders took Mr Bradley to Siloam hospital, but it was too late.<\/p>\n

“He was already dead,” said Dani Siswanto, a local “Gojek”\u00a0driver who helped put Mr Bradley into the taxi and held his head in his lap as they rushed to the hospital.<\/p>\n

“I could tell because he wasn’t breathing. There was no movement in his chest.”<\/p>\n

Piecing together clues from CCTV footage<\/h2>\n

The ABC has seen CCTV footage of Mr Bradley’s collapse\u00a0from a camera above a bar across the road from the clinic.<\/p>\n

Witnesses told police that shortly before Mr Bradley collapsed they had seen him leaving a restaurant 250 metres from the clinic, shaking uncontrollably and repeatedly falling over on the street.<\/p>\n

But his sister Beth Bradley says the restaurant checked its CCTV cameras and told her there was no evidence he had been there.<\/p>\n

She says nobody seems to know where her brother was in the three hours or more after he left the beach bar until he collapsed, let alone what he had drunk or consumed.<\/p>\n

Her family are calling for anyone with information to come forward, particularly one man who they have been told may have footage of Charlie’s final moments on his phone.<\/p>\n

“No-one has helped to find answers. Everything we know is through myself contacting the people who saw him last and local Aussie business owners over there,” she told the ABC.<\/p>\n

“Something doesn’t seem right.<\/p>\n

\n

“It’s one thing to be told your brother is dead, but to have no idea why or [be] led to believe people were filming him makes me feel sick.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mr Bradley’s family is desperate to retrace his final moments, and are angry that police have not sought CCTV from the medical clinic or from the bar across the road.<\/p>\n

Ms Bradley says she was told that the other bystander who got into the taxi to\u00a0take her brother to hospital had filmed him in the last minutes before he died.<\/p>\n

But when the taxi delivered him to the hospital, the man disappeared.<\/p>\n

Police were unable to speak to the bystander, a foreign tourist, but say they are still investigating Mr Bradley’s death to establish a timeline of his movements.<\/p>\n

“The doctor told us he was brought in by a guy showing a video of Charlie confused and shouting, then he fell down, stood back up and banging his head,” Ms Bradley said.<\/p>\n

Ms Bradley says friends who were with Charlie at the beach bar have told her no drugs were taken. They were not with him after he left the bar.\u00a0She says she has never known her brother to take drugs before.<\/p>\n

She questions whether her brother may have had his drink spiked with\u00a0a lethal drug, or unknowingly ingested methanol, a toxic by-product of homemade spirits.<\/p>\n

Could a swig of bootleg alcohol have killed Charlie Bradley?<\/h2>\n

Methanol poisoning usually\u00a0occurs when\u00a0homemade alcohol is\u00a0illegally substituted for vodka and other spirits to boost profits or cut costs.<\/p>\n

Experts say victims of methanol poisoning cannot see, smell or taste the substance in their drinks, but within 12 to 24 hours can suffer serious and potentially life-threatening organ damage.<\/p>\n

Typically methanol attacks the soft tissues in the body, including the eyes, brain and liver.<\/p>\n

Symptoms of poisoning can include vomiting, chest or abdominal pain, hyperventilation and impaired vision.<\/p>\n

As little as 10ml of methanol\u00a0 \u2014 about 2 teaspoons \u2014 can cause blindness, and just 30ml \u2014 about a mouthful \u2014 can cause brain damage, coma or death.<\/p>\n

Ms Bradley says her brother only drank spirits, including cocktails \u2014 the drinks most likely to be tainted.<\/p>\n

North Kuta’s Police Chief Made Prama Setya says there is no evidence that Mr Bradley was a victim of methanol poison.<\/p>\n

Bali police asked Mr Bradley’s family for permission to carry out an autopsy, but the family declined, saying it would have meant months of waiting for his body to be returned to Australia.<\/p>\n

Instead the family expects to have an autopsy done in Adelaide, where they live.<\/p>\n
